If you accidentally*underexpose* a shot, the Monochrom will allow you to extract much more shadow detail than the M9. If you *properly* expose a shot, the Monochrom will give you a much cleaner file across the board, and with more usable dynamic range." He explains VERY thoroughly why the MM has a different look and why he won't be buying one. I agree with his analysis and his conclusions but not his ultimate decision.
