The only difference is that one is color balanced in LR and one is color balanced in PS. I don't consider that to be a problem. I like to have the choice and sometimes take a photo into PS only to get the cooler balance but I usually prefer the warmer color of LR. The SL and the M240 do have different colors and it's easy to tell looking at a grid of photos in LR which ones were made with which camera. Side-by-side, I prefer the colors from the SL. If they are not right next to each other, either one looks fine. They both sell just fine. Of the three that I have sold so far from the Iran trip, two were made with the M240 and one with the SL.
