It\'s a little misleading to say one has better DR at low ISO, and the other at high ISO, when the DR advantage of EXMOR at low ISO is a couple of stops, and the DR advantage of the Canon sensor at high ISO is relatively negligible.
.
The DR advantage of the latest Canon sensors at high ISO is about 1 stop, and to Sony at low ISO is about 3 stops. However, if you shoot at very high ISO like 25600, the difference is readily seen in the shadows. If you shoot at low ISO, the difference is hardly seen unless you do shadow recovery. For many people the low ISO DR is a complete non-issue. For them it is more important to have 9 stops over 8 than 15 stops over 12 when maybe 10 stops is what they need.
What is misleading is to say that Canon is lagging in ISO perfomance. Very compenent comparisons made by our member Snapsy has shown that by and large it is a wash.
