I have a M9 and D3x.
The difference between the results, in my case, are due to 4 factors:
Focus - I can actually focus the M9 better than the D3x, and maybe/probably 
the sensor mount shimming is more accurate in the M9
Size - I usually leave the D3x at home...
Subject - there are certain things a SLR will always be more suitable for, 
the 600mm lens for example.
Lens - in my case my Leica lens is better than the alternative which I own 
for the Nikon.
Other than that, they both produce great results.
