I wouldn't have thought it was overcooked. Perhaps curves could darken the background a tad.
ISO800 is a popular setting. ISO setting is not standard unvariable thing, I'd suggest you chose that setting based on the object. A bight object from a dark site may warrant ISO800. Try that on a dim object and you'll get too dim an image so ISO1600 or 3200 (20D and above).
What about the new 50D? It goes to ISO6400 or something, that could be interesting.
