IMHO, I'm happy to keep my actual shutter 1/8000 with flash sync @1/125. I'm also happy having upgraded the frame lines together with the shappire glass. Vulcanite feels more solid on M8.2 but it also looks somehow "cheap"
Shutter upgrading is only 800 Euros, still to much for a marginal difference. Will keep with what I got with the M8.1, whatever initial temptation.

Thanks for the report.

I did the test at Photo Suffren.
