Ade-oh, Exactly.
I see a correlation between how much time and passion I give to my photography and the quality of the results, irrespective of what camera system I use, digital or otherwise. Personally, I made the decision a while ago that I would prefer to spend a lot of time making film based images than digital ones. I do not see digital as more convenient for making my best work, only more convenient for making more work. Sometimes the latter is important, but I try to lean towards the former.
From what you are saying, a used M9 sounds the best bet. The M10 will most likely cost 8K or more and could be some way off, with doubtful availability for some time after release. If this is a concern now, the M9 seems to be the only act in town... (comments about X100 and X-Pro considered).
