I think CB9 is worth over CB8 for me personally:

1) CB9 supports databases more as 4.1 million games ... this is a big plus over
Cb8 with merging very large databases. Big / Mega Database contains already
2,607,013 games so reaching this limit should be not difficult to do so.

2) Easier to:
* see what are all played moves from a certain position
* filter certain games on rating, gender, etc
* sorting games.

3) Easier sorting

4) Better opening clasification

5) See the name of a certain eco opening

6) Integration with playchess.com

7) Configure columns, order of columns, sorting of views, and memorize them.

I did not read yet if:
* merging database is faster
* deduping databases is faster / better quality

But if this thenCB9 is must really a plus over CB8
