Yep, I can see your point especially about when the light is failing and a high ISO speed is necessary to get the shutter speed.
I also use a Canon 400 F5.6L prime lens and although I'm using a 40D at present I have taken hundreds of photos with a 400D at ISO 800 and sometimes above and found them very acceptable for noise levels. The 40D is in my opinion no better or worse for noise than the 400D.
If noise is a problem, like John D I would recommend Neat Image. It's a fantastic little programme that is a free download but you can get a paid for version that works as a plug in in photoshop the full version or PS Elements.
I use it myself on any of my images that need it.
