In a nutshell, no matter how fast the card is, the D won't write to it any faster than about 6 seconds for a RAW file. That's why Rob Galbraith doesn't bother testing it anymore. So you could either save your money getting a cheaper card for the D now, or buy a faster card in anticipation of using it in a faster, future D replacement -- assuming that future D replacement uses CF.
