Yes but for the almost two hundred dollar difference I am not in that much of a rush lol. I have 2x4 4GB CF cards and a 2GB, I can transfer and keep shooting, speed is not an issue for me. I was looking for a backup on shoots lasting longer than a day, right now I can shoot about 850 photos in RAW before storage is an issue and have not done it yet, so it is more of a back up for those days I shoot far more than planned or I am out of the City for several days and don't want to bring my MacBook with me. And I am needing to bracket even less so it is a fall back for a just in case scenario.
