I agree with Tina....

And especially important is the low contrast for reproduction purposes.....
too low.....so some tweaking needs to be done.

But when you do not have (another) $7K ( or is it $8K?) for an M-M, the M9
with a few different image tweaks holds up very nicely.

There is no clear winner.  Only choices to be made.....

Absolutely true.  Here is the file straight out of the camera with no
adjustments - only converted to jpeg from DNG:

Too low contrast for me, but all of the tones are there to play with.
