This is a good article that reaches the same conclusions I have about the
MM and M9:

"I’ll spare you from the gory details and the burden of looking through any
more of the hundreds of comparison photos that I took, and will jump right
to the conclusion: If you accidentally *overexpose* a shot, the M9 will
allow you to recover some highlight details that the Monochrom will not. 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.
