I am used to having more than one body/back, I think it makes more sense 
than 2x M9 or M9+M10

The price of the MM is relatively insignificant compared to the value of my 
lenses ;-)

I used to specialise in B&W but last had a darkroom 15 years ago

I have not really shot 35mm B&W film since I was 20 (I bought my first 
Hasselblad) so a film M would not work

It is tax deductible

I will have to wait and see how things work out, most of the time I pick the 
M9 and one lens now I have the choice of monochrome or colour ;-)

I feel at home with the M system, by the end of today I will have taken more 
shots on the MM than I have on my D800E which I have had for a couple of 
months....

John - feeling justified ;-)

OTT so far do you really feel it is worth the plunge when already owning an 
M9?
