He’s shooting active dancing. I don’t see 1/160s as doable.

Not sure how that has anything to do with my post...? The point there is he gets 3 stops of advantage with an f/0.95 lens to use as he wishes (an additional stop in comparison to an f/1.4 lens) - and he can push it all into shutter speed for as much as I care, turning his 1/160, f/2.8, ISO 12800 photo into a 1/1250, f/0.95, ISO 12800 one instead.

Of course, he can mix and match as needed, making it either 1/640, f/0.95, ISO 6400, or 1/320, f/0.95, ISO 3200, too. But if 1/160 is still doable, being what he took his sample shot with, then ISO 1600 would be what he`d get, indeed (all instead of current ISO 12800).
