Even with the latest camera noise reduction, it's just not as sharp using a higher ISO. f/2.8 would be awesome though. I just can't justify spending that much for pro glass.
An ISO 100 doesn't allow you to do too much if the the lens if f/3.3+.

It really depends on what kind of pictures do you shoot mostly, I was shooting a tennis tournament one time during the night session, even the aperture was set to f/2.8, I still have to push the ISO to at least 400+.

Some of the f/2.8 is not that $$$, there's a 35-70mmf/2.8 from Nikon, retail for about $500ish, it's an old model, no motor, but the picture comes out top notch.
