Jim,
While I might agree that these fast lenses may not sell well due to
price, a fast lens does produce selective focus you simply cannot get
with ISO800. 
Bear in mind the smaller image sensor on your digital SLRs (unless you
are using the EOS 1Ds), increase DOF, so you really need a fast lens if
you want shallow DOF.  You probably have little need for shallow DOF but
that does not mean ISO800 negates it.
