If you've not taken the time to read the Clarkvision site I'd recommend it for those that would like to know a bit more about the inner machinations of DSLR chips. Slip down to part 4 and check out the links

Interesting read. Thanks Paul. I won't feel quite so guilty sticking with 800 most of the time.
