OIS will make this lens bigger - something that you would not appreciate, I think.

Based om my experience, you may be safe with shutter speed 1/20 (or faster) which means that you can take night shots having F 1.7 - F2.0 and ISO 1250-1600.

Yes. And if you use tricks like leaning yourself or the camera against solid objects, you can shoot with even longer shutter speeds. Sometimes I'll set my camera down and use the self timer and much longer shutter speeds.
