Now I'm reading some rumors about Leica 15 1.7 which was announced on 2014 for GM1 and wondering if it will be much better than 20 1.7 for me. Both focus lengths have pluses and minuses when using in small room, so the decision can be made only by unknown sharpness, price and availability of the new lens. What do you think?

Yes, the 15mm f1.7 is much, much better than the 20mm f1.7.  It is also cheaper, better build quality, focus is more accurate and fast, will be worth more and more as each year goes by so will make a great investment.  Buy now, sell later and retire early.  It is all good.  Anyway, that is what my wife just told me.  Since she knows and cares very little about camera gear I suspect she knows more about this than all the people who get distracted by all the latest gossip and guessing.
