The R8 is not a walk about camera I found out. That's best left to the
Ms and the light Rs. But if the R9's handling characteristics have been
changed with its lighter mass, then I would seriously consider it. 
Then again, when I'm on a serious shoot, I'm geared up to the teeth, and
weight is far down the list as a consideration.
