..and the $59,999 answer is: to coin a phrase of President Obama
(yay!!!), "yes you can" drive the M15 - any of them, old or new - from
15 volts.  My suggestion is you try it as is and see if you like the
tracking and if not, there are some changes which may get you back to
 the exact response of +/-12 supplies.  There are some notes about
that already in this blog, but I'd be happy to re-visit it once you've
tried it.

Should I bill your cc or paypal to collect the 60 g's?
