Given your list of minor gripes, I have a feeling that you wouldn't be "100% satisfied" regardless of how good it was.
No doubt.

I did mention that my gripes were minor. It was a discussion starting point.
I'm also a bit bothered by the size of the art. The PHB took up about 20% of pagecount with artwork and the MM probably took up at least that much. I do think that they could have made the art a bit smaller and crammed more content in without sacrificing anything real. But that too is a minor gripe. Less content means more monster books in the future.
