What I've found is that I REALLY like the silent shutter option. In fact, I leave my camera in this mode nearly all day.
I have also noticed that the metering is most closely tied to the AF point, resulting in more accurate exposures and less need for exposure compensation. It may be subtle, but I find AWB more accurate than in previous 5D models. I'm doing less color correction on my 5DIII files.
I've been so happy with the camera, I bought a second one - regardless of the high price.
I have silent shutter on all the time...it is definitely one of my favorite new additions (I was even stoked about it before I even had the camera in my hands)

I'm really impressed with it too.
I was a little concerned that silent might affect the 150k shutter actuations, but I can't find anything in the manual.. so that's good news However, it does slow down the shutter slightly.
