Kyle -

Your main problems are all solved with the M240.  Wakes up instantly, ISO
up to 6400 is awesome, instant read time on display, very quiet shutter,
very fast shutter response.

I still loved my M9, until it got sensor corrosion and was replaced with
the M246, but the M240 is a no-brainer if you want a working, efficient M
digital.
