Got to see the new 8.2 today at the photo expo here in Calgary... I was interested mainly in hearing the new shutter.
So for all of you wondering, in my ears, there's quite a difference with the upgraded shutter. It definitely is more muted and smoother sounding - less of the uber-expensive-automatic-stapler sound of the original shutter. I noticed this immediately as I played with both M8 & M8.2 at the expo.
I mentioned it sounded smoother, but it also felt a little smoother as well - less inertia from the shutter I'm guessing?
If I could afford the upgrade, I'd proceed with it - the difference was compelling enough for me.... but these are my ears not any one else's

Grinding sound? you mean the winding mechanism? I never thought it sounded like it was grinding ...
The upgraded shutter sounded smoother throughout the whole shutter cycle (firing - winding)...
