Dear Rich,
The high cost of an M9 and the low trade-in value of an M8 are nothing to do with camera quality, so we can ignore that one. You like huge cameras with multiple screens. Others don't. You like black chrome: I think it's horrible (as the result of bitter experience with a new M4-P). 'Less-accurate framelines'? A matter of opinion and choice. Doesn't worry me either way. Baseplate: again, I prefer it. Arguments about body strength are meaningless. High-res screen? Sure: more processing power, bigger battery, no more small camera. Personally, I regard today's obese SLRs as 'pathetic', to borrow one of your words.
Cheers,
R.
