The 70mm has gorgeous rendering and I preferred it. The SMC version was surprisingly prone to flare when against the light, but I would expect that to be no longer so with the introduction of the HD version.
The 77mm is much bigger and heavier, but less prone to flare. It's a superb lens but I preferred the look of images with the 70mm. Technically, the 77mm is the better lens.

Has anyone tried one yet? I fancy buying one, but I might just wait until the price drops at some future point.

No self respecting Leica owner would have used this lens or the later Japanese made Voightlanders

It's unfortunate the 07 is £49.99, but then the mount and body of it are made to the same standard as any other Pentax lens, so it probably can't be much less.
I think I'd jump in at £30 and there's some potential in it.
