That's a good backup choice but as your main film why shoot 800?
Anywhere bright or outdoors it will kill you as you'll need to be at
like f/16 for everything. Remember shallow DoF makes your photos look
"professional" compared to the everything in focus P&S photos others
will take. You have 2 cameras load 2 film speeds make 400 other.

Ken,
I think you will find the Kodak Portra 800 or the Fuji NPZ films to be
the ticket.  Fast enough to not use the flash until the sun sets and
then enough speed to make even a smallish flash useable.  Also sharp and
grain free enough to go to 16X20 if you do your job right.  Which one to
use depends on you palette preference as well as how you local lab is
balanced.  Shoot a roll of each in similar conditions, give them to
whichever lab you plan to use and make up your own mind.
