I should probably have gone into more detail because I was primarily thinking of B&W captures. If I'm shooting with the intent of making a mono image, the color LCD display trips me up more than it helps - probably because it's showing colors vs luminosity levels. I'd probably feel differently if there was a way to get a mono preview off the LCD. Of course, the preview helps with things like basic exposure and focus and composition...
