Thank you all for your kind help and advice. I currently have DNG+JPEG fine and B&W set as Camera Profile 2 on the M8 and I think it makes sense therefore to keep it that way. I don't tend to use the LCD screen a lot but the B&W preview is always there if I want it.

I had not thought of using the JPEG's as a contact sheet (good idea) and generally only keep them until I have sorted the keepers and chuckers in iPhoto, then after DNG conversion of the keepers in C1, transfer the JPEG's to my archive external drive and trash them in iPhoto. I then reimport the TIFF's from my capture file into iPhoto. It sounds a bit laborious but I have got it reasonably automated. It would all be much simpler if Aperture worked properly on DNG's.
