I think you just made Gary's point.  If after a month no one noticed an 
*FM* station was in mono, why do you think anyone would notice lack of 
stereo on an AM, especially considering the small number of AM stereo 
receivers in existence.  It has nothing to do with transmission 
quality.  Why throw good money after bad on something no one cares about?
