I'm still going to wait and compare the noise based on side by side reviews.
The full translation does come across better. It also is likely possible to reduce overall noise by shooting at shorter exposure times and stacking images. The stack will stack up noise just like it does with the signal, but if each stacked image is less than half as noisy as it's double-ISO cousin, results could be favorable.
