That's been my impression of the 009 as well. People that typically didn't love stats do love the 009 because it has some of the dynamics strengths along with the stat advantage.

See for me the 009's physicality is one of the things that 'did it for me'. The bass was absolutely flawless when it comes to physicality and texture...and when a recording called for it there was more than enough.
Morbid, have you owned both the LCD3 and the 009? You make owning the 009 pretty appealing.
My main problem with the 009s is that I don't like headphones THAT much. For 10k, I'd rather buy a good speaker setup.
That's basically what I did. I reinvested that 10k into a speaker system. Some don't have that luxury though due to any number of reasons.
I can also tell you that 10k in headphones gets you a lot further than 10k in speakers if you're looking for overall transparency and not something more musical (like I did).
Absolute detail is better in headphones as well.
I don't need a microscope for music! I'm happy to have a pair of headphones that sound pretty amazing (LCD3 / HD800) and get a set of really great speakers too.
At the end of the day the added detail isn't worth it to me if I still have to be tied down by a cord / something sitting on my head.
Makes sense. I basically decided to just buy a system that's extremely danceable and musical not caring about complete detail. It's there, but you're too busy enjoying the music to hear it unless you're critical listening.
This is helped by the fact I'm running analog as well.
What speakers did you get?

Or a cheap car
