[Leica] Would you trade your M9 to go back to an M8?

[mark at whitedogs.co.uk (Mark Pope)]

After six weeks with an M9, I think the answer is "No I don't think so".
I did think about keeping an M8 body for IR, but I don't do enough IR to 
justify it.
I find the M9 is just better.  Having the lenses used to their full 
potential on a digital body is still a revelation.
