I think Montoya much more closely fits the Williams Model for the ideal driver than did Button, hence the switch.
I also believe that Montoya is still finding his feet in F1, but Frank cannot find fault with JPM's effort. I think that both Williams driver's are pretty closely matched and that Ralfie is nervous because he knows how hard it will be to beat Montoya. Ralf's wins this year are due in part to his greater F1 experience.
Remeber, Inigo, Montoya was only in CART for two years and when he arrived set the place on fire. Montoya has the quality of being the perpetual outsider, the independant spirit. What he accomplishes, he does on his own terms.
It is clear that Ralf and JPM do't like each other, and it will make for some very interesting events over the next few seasons.
