Eric, in practice I find the D4 about 1 to 1.5 stops better than the D3 but I haven't done any direct comparison between them or tried to determine when noise becomes discernible. As you say it is subjective but also variable because high ISO in good light, by mistake, is less noisy than the same ISO to achieve an acceptable shutter speed.

Additionally, I may accept the noise without intervention if I get the image I want. I took the lights at Waddesdon Manor in December at a high ISO ignoring the noise because it worked but I wouldn't expect to print the images like that though.
