I have both the OMD and the M9P

I thought this was an interesting post about the two cameras.

Olympus OMD 95% – Leica M9 5%

I use my m9p more than the author

but the omd is a pure joy and right now the split is about 60/40 for me.

Is this the link that you wanted to post? Olympus OMD 95% – Leica M9 5% By Neil Buchan-Grant | STEVE HUFF PHOTOS

Do you use the same m4/3 lenses as Neil Buchan-Grant?

-Edit-
I guess he doesn't talk about it much in his guest post on Steve Huff. Here's his list according to http://buchangrant.com/blog/?page_id=71.

The lenses I currently use with the OMD are the Samyang fisheye, the 12mm f2 from Olympus, the 7-14mm from Panasonic, the 45mm f1.8 from Olympus, the 25mm Leica/Panasonic Summilux lens, the Olympus m.Zuiko 75-300mm and the new Panasonic 12-35mm X f2.8. As ever with this now well established but still burgeoning format, there are some very exciting new lenses on the drawing board and in my sights including the Olympus 75mm f1.8, the Schneider 30mm f1.4 and the Panasonic 35-100 f2.8 zoom! Its a great time to be taking pictures:)

+1 - no doubt the M9 is an awesome camera, but this is always true.

I think that if I spend $8000 on a camera it would never leave my body. That's such a ridiculous amount to barely even use it. Why would anyone own both if they have an $8000 paperweight 95% of the time?
