If I had minutes to evaluate and take test shots for everything I wanted, then sure, but often I want to take a photo of something where I only have one shot to get it right.

I'm really curious to know, what do you do with your photos that makes ISO 400 on the XSI unusable?
ISO 400 on the K10D is fine for me, and it's most likely "worse" then the XSI. Some of my favorite shots were taken at ISO 800 if not 1600.
Also, I love how photography has taken a 180* from what it used to be. Sure things change, I understand that. I wonder what would happen if all cameras only had manual and nothing else, not even auto focus.
That would be a sight to behold.

I know, bokeh is just an example of what you can do when messing with the DoF.
As for the noise issue, I don't have time to post up some samples shots right now (I will later), but basically if any of the image has dark spots/shadows, there will be a decent amount of noise, especially when cropped at 100%.
I do have an old film camera with no auto focus and mostly manual controls, it's not as much fun for me
