Maybe moving from Nikon

Hello everybody. I've been following the 5DII news. I currently have a Nikon D700 and D3 and seriously thinking of switching. I shoot weddings so I'm waiting to see what the high ISO and IQ are like on the 5DII before buying 2 of them. The extra pixels would be nice and I can see that video clips of exchanging rings, first kiss etc. would be useful. I'm not bothered about the AF issue since I only use the center sensor anyway. However it's the silent modes I'm most interested in. I wish Nikon would follow Canon's example and add a similar feature but it doesn't look likely. Anybody out there that use the silent modes on other Canon models and can comment on actual noise levels and usefullness? Being able to stand a few feet from the priest and not sounding like I'm shooting the congragation with a machine gun would make my job easier. I also shoot in theatres where noise is prohibited. Thanks.
