It is now regarded as more expendable ;-) I think it can give greater 
(false) saturation at times, some people prefer it for skin tones and AWB, 
it is lighter, but other than that I think the M is an improvement in all 
areas for my usage. I use Steve Barnet's 'thumbie' on my M9/MM and with a 
heavy lens that works better than the little thumb rest on the M, the latter 
is far better than nothing though. Battery life does not seem much better in 
the M, even with minimal EVF, than it is with M9/MM.

I still would take the Monochrom out by choice though ;-)

I think I mean to ask this:
Does the M9 have any feature, advantage, characteristic, or positive 
idiosyncrasy
that the M did not bring forward?
