To say that the CM9s have a nicer finish and sound good so buy them makes no sense to me if you haven't heard M80s as the OP was specifically looking for M80 comparisons. For the extra little money cgolf could upgrade the finish to a custom vinyl which I would bet looks as good or better than the CM9s, HG Cherry anyone?

The original question is still there, are the CM9's worth the extra $200 over M80s(paraphrased)? I can't answer that. I can say that the M80s sound a little different than the M60s and IMO are worth the extra money over the cost of M60s. I have no idea what CM9s sound like but I can certainly say the M80s are crisper/cleaner and reach a little deeper than M60s.
