Finally Rob Galbraith has delivered his verdict on the 1DMk3 sub-mirror fix (and firmware v1.1.3).
And the verdict is - much improved but could do better. (this is all based on testing new "blue dot" cameras - no testing done on faulty cameras that have had the fix)
In summary, he seems to conclude that the "twitchiness" has been largely resolved and that the AI-Servo is much more stable in hot conditions. It outperforms the 1D2n for indoor sports photography, but AI-Servo accuracy still lags behind the 1D2n in outdoor sports in bright sunshine.
He seems to conclude that both the hardware fix and 1.1.3 have made significant improvements and are each worth having individually.
