Sigma DP2 merrill anyone ugraded from DP2

Some info regarding the battery life. The batteries that came with mine only gave about 25 captures from a full charge, it was cool weather, so I discussed it with the agent here, and they informed me that these batteries improve with a few total discharges and recharges, and now after a few charges I am getting 80 odd captures per charge.
 
I got a DP2S to try out a Sigma because I couldn't afford the Merrill. I love the camera, limitations (all of which I can live with) notwithstanding, and now hunger for the DP2 Merrill. I have my E-5 for birding, for low light situations, etc. But there are over 300 bright, sunny days a year where I live in the desert Southwestern U.S., and far from needing more high iso performance from the Merrill, I'm disappointed they did away with the iso 50 of the previous models. I use it constantly on my 2S.
