Talk me out of the Leica CL digital

Ever since I found out it existed, the CL has been pretty much my dream camera. A body like the Q or M series, but with an interchangeable lens mount? It seems like the perfect red-dot camera, especially with the EVF that the TL series lacked. After coming into some extra money, I'm in the position to possibly buy one, but I can't help but think this might not be the best use of nearly two thousand dollars. It's APS-C, 24MP, and nearly 10 years old. For the same money, I could afford something like the Lumix S1 and a solid amount of pro lenses, but I'm missing out on the portability and access to the TL lens lineup in the CL. Could anyone who has owned/owns the CL weigh in and let me know how the experience is, and if you'd take it over a modern more "professional" full frame?

For reference, I've owned an X-Pro 3 and an A7, and found the A7 far too clinical to enjoy, while the X-Pro 3 was amazing and I still miss it.

[T][USA-CA] Trading X-Pro 3 Dura with 23mm f/2 R WR and other MF/Adapted lenses for Leica Gear

Hey everybody, putting this out to gauge interest. I currently use this kit as my main setup, so shutter count will increase as time goes on. Looking to transition to a Leica system, so more interested in trades than selling, but would sell for a good price (not in a rush, probably around $2200 for the full kit)

Mainly interested in:
Leica CL digital
Leica Digital Rangefinder
Q or SL series
Open to offers of any similar value gear, send offers if interested!

What's Included:
Fujifilm X-Pro 3 Dura Edition (+ battery and charger)
Fujifilm 23mm f/2 R WR lens
TTArtisans APS-C 35mm f/1.4 MF X-mount lens
SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.7 lens
SMC Pentax-A Zoom 70-210mm f|4 lens
Pentax K-Fuji X and m42-Fuji X adapters
Can include bag and SD card if necessary

Camera is in 10/10 condition, along with the X mount lenses. No scratching on main screen or body, nor any ribbon cable issues. Minor scuffing on film view screen only visible at specific angles. Pentax 50mm is in Excellent condition, and the 70-210mm has significant fungus which does not effect the image quality due to the crop factor (was purchased overseas as a "junk" lens).

Ending the freshman season with a generational Hail Mary

Barely applied around during as I am in CC and had 0 letters of rec during the application season. During the spring semester I visited a local lab and met someone who worked on my personal favorite experiment of all time and fangirled to him over lunch. After a barrage of rejections, I emailed him asking if he had any spots left, and a month later here we are. Infinitely grateful for this opportunity, and I'm more than excited for this summer.
