To me, Danzo was a person who struggled to become what he thought was an ideal of shinobi, but never could. He was still afraid to die and was using others despite talking about self-sacrifice. He had twisted that ideal, and that's quite interesting psychologically. Although, I too never thought about him as a "grey" character - he was a villain, and his logic was just as twisted as his ideals.

However, I think that seeing some of his "better" sides (as in, him doing all those questionable yet beneficial things that Hiruzen kept him around for) would be interesting. I think that the fillers needlessly added some dirty deeds to his record, in fact ordering Hiruzen's assassination seemed out of character even for him.
