I haven't been able to find a review on these cards which leads me to be a bit apprehensive... but the pricing seems to be less than their (slower) 400x counterparts.
Has this snuck under everyone's radar or have I succumb to a new type of acquisition syndrome?
The "800x" cards are only 400x (60MB/sec.) when it comes to write speeds. The 32GB and large 1000x cards retain full rated speed (145MB/sec.) in writes.

Lexar, usually, charges more-much more-for it's very best cards. SanDisk somewhat the same. So i try to wait out the technology and buy the on sale, one notch less than latest/fastest speed. I do, however, have the Sony card that goes in my D4. When I want to splurge for latest/fastest I just look at the 10MegaB PCMIA card I keep around that I bought in 1995 for $350.

I use the Lexar 1000X in the D4 and it is very fast. I can't think of a situation where I would benefit from increased write or read speed. I used Lexar 800X cards in the D3s and would hit the buffer limits often when shooting surfing. The D4 has a more robust buffer than the D3s, which is an obvious factor.
Thanks for all the comments. I went ahead and got a 64gb version of their 800x card on sale to give it a go. I rarely burst for more than a second or two and doubt it will be a problem for me :-)
