I would not give up the fine detail of the CCD for higher ISOs. Here is an article: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/cameras-photography/digital/question362.htm "Based on these differences, you can see that CCDs tend to be used in cameras that focus on high-quality images with lots of pixels and excellent light sensitivity. CMOS sensors traditionally have lower quality, lower resolution and lower sensitivity."
