The Micro ripple effect does cause soft(er) images, that's the point, but the coa**er grain (lower resolution) sensors are very prone to moir© which is very difficult to remove in post processing, so it's a trade off.

Nikon have given users a choice with the D800E. It depends a lot on your subjects, Moir© would be a big issue for architectural photography for example. For portraits it may not be, but portraits tend to be softened anyway, so it's down to the users needs.
