Here is Bill Claff's data. If you want low ISO DR for landscapes I'd stick with the Z7II. But for what the Z9 is targeted at it seems on par with the others.
The Z7(II) beats it by a third of a stop at ISO 64 (i.e., base ISO), that isn't much of a difference to be worried about and very similar to the way that the Sony A7r III or IV beats the Sony A1. I am more disappointed by the high ISO shooting that matches the Z7 (II) but is about half a stop or a little more less than the D6. This is good DR performance at both high and low ISO but I wish for such an action oriented camera it was a little better at low ISO.
Also keep in mind at base ISO (64 for the Z9 and 100 for the Sony A1), the two camera have nearly identical PDR. So when there is lots of light or you can have long shutter speeds, the Sony A1 will have not advantage. That 1/3rd stop advantage is only from ISO 100 to IS0 500.
