I have no experience with the camera, but if you want it Bob and can afford
it, by all means go for it.
My biased opinion is that this camera is more about what it is than what it
can do. Like sort of a piece of jewelry that one gets to show off. The idea
that it only takes B+W images makes it even more exclusive than the
tradional Leica.
I'm sure we've all done things for irrational reasons.
YMMV

I wouldn't buy it even if I won ALL the lotteries (and anyway I would
have to actually buy lottery tickets first).
As someone else pointed out, you can make good black & white images
using a camera that has a color sensor, but you won't [easily] make
color images with a camera that has a monochrome sensor.
But, it's Bob's money, so he can do with it what he wants. It's not my
job to tell him what he can or can't buy.

Does anyone here have any experience of using the Leica Monochrom, and
cares to tell all?
I am about to cash in a matured savings account, and the Leica site is
doing nasty things to my mind, like Fanny Ardant doing a slow
striptease in my door jamb...
