Would you trade one stop of light in a lens, for one stop better ISO performance on a body?

Depends on the starting place of the theoretical lens. F/2.8 to f/2 is more useful than f/1.4 to f/1.0. My personal stuff:http://www.flickr.com/photos/jngirbach/sets/

Kind of the other way around. Give up one stop of light on a lens, gain it in higher ISO performance. my last two cameras give me super clean prints @ iso 1600 with no NR needed and are very good @ iso 3200. http://instagram.com/edraderphotography/
