From what I have tried out of collapsible Russian lenses I`ve only got wonderful results. As I know up until 1964-5 when the Russians started releasing Industar`s 61 and later 61L/D the RF lens industry lost it`s quality in good lenses. However up until then basically every lens was made really well.
I think that the person who has tested the I-10 ( http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113110 ) might have a poorly repaired model. Very often , when an inexperienced repairman fails to center or clean the lenses properly you might not get the quality that the lens could actually produce.
Anyway . I still think that you could get at least a dozen Industars for the price as the elmar so why not go for it. You will find at least one that fits you needs
