Nice try
I'm not convinced absolute QE is the problem with CMOS chips. By their intrinsic design you have pixel to pixel variation in the (on chip) read-up electronics.
A bit like weighing yourself many times on one set of bathroom scales (al la CCD..same result every time) as opposed to weighing yourself with different scales (al la CMOS, this scale says I've put on weight! )
Canon may have discovered a method to make their "scales" more consistent. In which case the S/N will have improved and you can push the signal harder before the noise becomes offensive.
