Tonality is a big difference, quality of the lenses and also pleasure of 
use. I hated the D800E but enjoyed the S2 from day one, first day out I took 
more shots than I had in seven months with the Nikon.

John,
That print size does not tax any DSLRs or Mirrorless sensors that I have 
used in the last 5 years, either, including Micro 4/3 - and I print a lot 
for print exchanges, in which I regularly (month in, month
out) have been taking part for the best part of a decade. If it does not tax 
the M 240, why did you buy the S2 as well?  Just curious to know where 
medium format output is truly useful, and where it fits in for hobbyist 
photographers like me.
Cheers
Jayanand
