It sounds like you don't need a monochrome sensor, which is perfectly fine. I'd say 99.9% (or more) of people are better served by a Bayer sensor. But there are those out there who would benefit from a monochrome sensor and they know who they are. If you are really interested in seeing some pictures (I can't tell from the patronizing bullshit you wrote above), take a look at any photography which requires narrow band spectral response. Like, say the Hubble. It's been hashed out several times on this list that a monochrome sensor gains you some sensitivity, higher resolution, and freedom from color moire. The higher resolution thing can be important particularly when you are using narrow band filters.
