Don't know why you quote the 1D3 ?
Not the model mentioned by me if you read again.

The Canon is not my personnal prefererence. The D3 would have been
if it had the dust system on board.

Giving the D700 a severe looking at

Here is my two cents;

I have cleaned the sensor with a blower twice for ~2000 shots so far.
No wet cleaning' yet.

I was trying to be humorous. Lighten up a bit. I don't really care what camera a person uses.

After you have owned it a little longer, shoot the sky at f22. Most likely your sensor will have gunk on it and a blower won't clean the crap from the sensor. No problem is you always shoot wide open or nearly wide open.

James R has it, you see with a larger sensor you will stop down more and so see the dust and hence the conclusion it attracts more dust, which it doesn't, I bet in a properly carried out experiment it would get the same as a D2X sensor per unit area.
