Is the leica m ev1 worth it?

Whether the Leica M EV1 is worth it depends on what you shoot. It has a 60-megapixel full frame sensor, but no rangefinder and no in-body stabilisation, so you focus through the electronic viewfinder and should keep shutter speeds up. I don't list its price here, so check that before you decide.

Full frame earns its keep in low light, events, and portraits with shallow depth of field. For travel or street, a good APS-C camera may suit you better, as the Sensor sizes page explains.

For an everyday kit, I'd start with the Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH and the Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. If you want one zoom instead, the Leica Tri-Elmar-M 28-35-50mm f/4 ASPH covers that range.
