The V2403 has a good track record and is used in the MX4700 and MX5100 only without the turbo on the MX4700. The only difference I saw was the M5140 has an organic main clutch and the M6040 has Ceramatalic; wish I was smart enough to know whether that's important or not, but I kind of like it anyway.
As mentioned by ovrszd, the M6040 appears to come with larger tires. I like big tires and so does my dealer, so he orders all M8540 with the same tires as the M9540, if not, like ovrszd I would have an M9540 as opposed to our M8540.
While draft control is not necessary for most of us, I have had to change my opinion on it a bit. I used it farming, but not doing utility work. Since going with a much bigger box scrapper, I use it on our M8540 and kind of wish I had it on our L5740, not a real big deal, but a nice to have at least for me.
Not trying to change your mind, just throwing things out there.
