At the risk of getting way off topic, telling some one to get a D2x because it tested better than the previous generation Ds, (as opposed to the current DsII), is not very useful information.

I didn't tell anyone to get a D2x, I adviced him to consider this option as well. There is a clear trend in some circles to go Canon because many a top shooter in North America use Canon, and to not even consider other options. The lack of coverage of Nikon on this site contributes to this, and as a very happy D2x shooter I feel that overlooking this great camera would be a mistake. This has nothing to do with brand loyalty, and everything to do with the desire to provide objective information.
Reading some more around here will tell you that many a 1ds2 shooter didn't see much improvement in detail when switching from the 1ds to the 1ds2. They definitely didn't see any improvement in image uniformity when shooting with wide angle Canon lenses either, on the contrary.
Even Michael stated in his review of the 1ds2 that the significant enhanhcements were to be found elsewhere (ergonomics, high iso noise,...).
From this standpoint, I feel that the comment remains mostly relevant, especially to someone who expresses concern about wide lenses quality.
Cheers,
