If you shoot in the street after dark, say, especially handheld, there will
be times that higher speed is a necessity. I regularly shoot 800 negative
stock and sometimes load Fujipress 1600 for just this reason, so yes, good
performance at higher ISO settings would be a large consideration for me.
Or someone like me I'd suppose--an example might be a photojournalist for a
smaller daily or weekly who's assigned to shoot a high school basketball
game in a poorly-lit gym, a situation where I regularly had to push Tri-X
two stops even at f5 in order to come away with anything useable.
