That's the comparison I always wanted to see, but haven't been able to make the stretch for the M8 myself yet! Much more extended shadow detail, and the green v. grey color is not an issue. It seemed logical to me that an extended red sensitivity would be an advantage in b&w available light, particularly under reddish light such as tungsten. I would expect skin tones to come out lighter, too. People were much to fast to jump on the IR sensitivity as being a "defect", as opposed to being a characteristic that can either be exploited to advantage under appropriate circumstances, or compensated for when a disadvantage. I guess it depends on whether you're a glass-is half-full or half-empty kinda person.
