The reason given for the 9th is "they believe would include time for him to "ram through" his Brexit Bill." . . . will 3 days really make that much difference, or is it sheer bloody mindedness again?

The reason is because the University terms break up that week so any student registered in their University town will be less likely to vote (as they'll have gone home).
Although I think part of it is a spin war. The Tories want the narrative of having been rejected when they called for an election whereas the SNP/Lib Dems don't want to appear to have been bounced into one.
