I have stacked thousands of frames with SBIG gear and have yet to see a correlated noise pattern build.
That is true. Its not really a problem as you point out as it dark subtracts out well but as far as measuring sensor performance goes I was using it as an example with these DSLR sensor comparison performances. Its not all about the chip but also the quality of the surrounding electronics.
