They are simply saying their experience is different from yours. I also find the dynamic range and image quality of my M8 is better than the 4/3 rds cameras i have tried, but then I have not tried them all either. I also have not had any problems with my M8 in now 3 years, of which it would seem to be in the minority, if you believe all the griping on the Leica Forum.

It is after all, their pro/semi-pro camera. What I don't understand is why can't I make a statement that "for my purpose, my E-3 pics are comparable to my M8 pics" without people telling me that the Leica must be superior :-)?
