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

[vick.ko at sympatico.ca (Vick Ko)]

I'm pleased to see that my post has caused such a controversy, although 
don't like the direction that it has taken.

Progress so far:  I've sold two Nikon F's and two finders.  This pays 
for my upcoming plane flight to see my mom, who lives across the country.

I may sell another camera to pay for tuition this summer.

No, having (or not having) the M9 doesn't determine whether I have to go 
to the food bank or not.

I use the M9 far less than I anticipated, although I am overjoyed 
whenever I do use it.  It still feels like a large expenditure.

But I suppose I still have the core LUG affliction, where compromise and 
"good enough" isn't acceptable.  Wasn't that actually stated in some old 
Leitz advertising?
