no not tempted yet JK ,it does look interesting with that big lens ,but having run through all the tests on i.q with eric when i had my v2 its just a ploy ,you don't actually gain any further reach ,any more than switching to crop mode on a d7100 will do ,its a fantastic marketing ploy but thats all it is ,theres absolutely no advantage in the final image .

as for the rains ,what rains we have had hardly any here and even the night of the big storm the mountains behind us lifted it over the top of the house ,the other side off the dee estuary facing the wind copped it bad though .

i think i have found my niche' with my 1DMKiii its all down to image quality at the end of the day and even at 10mp it has it galore .

Good to know you are safe from the weather.

The V3 is not for me. The IQ out of the sensor of the V1 (10MP) and the V3 (18MP) wont be greatly different and I really dont think that a x2.7 crop sensor will yield images of sufficient quality to keep us happy.
