Same specs.. ie... same MP, same ISO Range  No idea how to answer the filter
question....Try putting your own limitations/qualifications on it.
Same $7K price.

I think on a "would you buy it?" question with no price tag its rather
meaningless.
If the black and white version was cheaper or more expenses than the M9's
going for now.

And how many Megapixels?
And what high iso range?
And is there filtering (like a green filter) in firmware software or do you
have to use glass filters?
