[Leica] M9 - not much more expensive than M8?

Unfortunately putting such a back on the old 500 series (or even 2000 
series) is a waste of pixels. A lot of the old Zeiss glass just isn't 
up to the hi-res backs. Best bet would probably be to get something 
in the 16 to 31Mp range. Nice clean lower ISO stuff, as long as you 
don't put a 40 onto it, or expect top resolution from some of the 
other lenses at less than optimum apertures.
