Are the differences minor or substantial?

The front standard on the MII rotates providing for ~100mm more extension (820mm total) than the M. Other than that I believe that the models are identical but I'm not sure.

Thomas is correct, they are identical except for the rotating front standard.
On the 810M, you have to remove either the front standard or the rail and re-insert it backwards to get the extra extension.

There are minor cosmetic differences, like black (not silver) knob covers on the MII, but those don't matter in terms of function or operation of the camera.
