D&A:
It is exactly for the subtle reasons you list that I say I will someday purchase an M9. I love my M8 and will keep it until it crumbles. But those little extras in the M9, while not earth shatteringly better, are enough to make me want one.
Could a photographer make delightful images with an M8 and never bother with the added expense of an M9? Certainly! Many do. And it's one of the reasons posters are asked to label the shots they include in the thread for digital M images—it's pretty hard to tell a difference at screen resolution.
But for the little bit extra the M9 gives in color and resolution along with the real difference in lens focal length (the two lenses I now own will virtually become four if I have a choice of bodies on which to mount them) that I will, someday, spring for an M9.
