Some of the results I've seen are impressive (mostly architecture/landscapes) . The newer model digital backs tend to do pretty well up to 400 ISO, so in bright sun they may be usable. I believe Rabiner ran into a guy in NYC who was carrying around his Alpa on a neck strap. As you say, horses for courses!
