I kept the M8.2 in lieu of buying the M9 in part because I don't make huge prints, don't shoot high ISO and don't shoot extremely wide.
But I did try the M9, and compared to the M8.2, I missed the 2m frame lines, the top display, the sapphire screen, the battery life and the processing speed. The files from the M9 also required much more effort, with sometimes less pleasing results, for my b/w work.
Both cameras (and lenses) disappoint by not having proper weather sealing.
The shutter noise with either camera is no issue. But the noise from the motor re-cock is annoying; the discreet setting only delays the inevitable screech. I'd love a quieter motor or ability to manually re-cock.
