I only mentioned the focus screen since I got my second native MF lens recently, and in that application it could be handy to be able to change it.
I don't know if they changed it between the 1D mk1 and mk2, but I have the mk1 too as a gamble buying a "faulty" one that actually worked. I haven't tested it much yet, but I'd provisionally say the 7D is comparable to or better than the 1D1 when using all points for BIF.
On noise, if 1600 on 50D didn't satisfy, it probably wont on the 7D either. Above that I found the 50D would give banding noise at times, which is absent on the 7D making it much better to me.
