I have a feeling I will be rewarded in the car and via the ipod but Im concerned the M gear will expose the compression and result in a flat sound.

I read a while back that there was no limiting applied to the mono set and only a very small amount to the stereo set. Cannot now recall where I read this but hopefully the small amount is really just that - I ordered the stero set. Too bad no 5.1
