Bump!

Question for Canon folk. I'm looking to upgrade my 40D to a 1D Mkii N, as I found a decent deal. Has anyone used the Mkii? I like the thought of a weather-resistant, sturdy frame, the 1-series AF, the lower noise at 1600 and the 1.3x crop. The drawbacks from what I've read is the size, poor UI and LCD, inability to use 10-22mm (not a huge concern for me).

From what I can tell on forums, it's a 50/50 split between people prefering the 1D and those for the 40D.

I'm hoping I can get some more insight from some of the many photographers here.
