The 1V may be a better option if you use it _without_ the PB-E2 when you want to shoot silently, and get the ES-E1 EOS link software as well. The reason is that the 1V has a personal function (PF-26, I think?) which does two things: 1. It delays film advance until the shutter is released, meaning that you can take a shot and then defer the advance by simply keeping the shutter depressed. 2. It uses a slower "silent" advance when the camera is in single-shot advance mode. Use of the PB-E2 negates (2), the silent advance sequence. My "quiet" shooting rig these days is therefore a 1v with a BP-E1 battery pack. It's not quite as quiet as an Elan or Elan-7, but it's vastly better than my EOS-3 was (before I sold it). Even without the personal function, the 1v's noise is less obtrusive than the 3.
