Well, I disagree here.  I don't think either of the "improvements" are
enough value added  to make me go through with it.  I have no scratches  on
the glass in a year, and I never case it.   I also use higher than 1/4000th
frequently.

It doesn't make me happy or unhappy.  I don't know  if I would want the M8.2
