They seems to be cheap nowadays. Anyone had experience with the /c bodies?

Mating a cheap film body to a digital mechanism doesn't look too good today compared to the competition such as the concurrent Canon 1Ds or the soon to follow Nikon D1. Some like the lack of low pass filter saying that makes for great color, but then again, others use AA filters for a reason and that reason often shows up in the 14. It's hopelessly noise at even modestly high ISO's as well. I think they'd make a good curiosity for a few hundred bucks.
I saw prices around 300 euro, so I got greedy ánd curious. A Canon 5D still is around 700 euro nowadays...
Ok... so the 5D justifies the double price compared to the 14/c. Could you please specifie why? Now... my 300D does a fine job, except for 2 things. I got a 1,6 crop I don;t want and 3 raw buffer pictures is way too little for my line of work.
the 5d is a well made camera with a very good sensor. the slr/c is made by sigma. it's basically an sd-10 with a noisy kodak sensor instead of the foveon sensor. the slr/n was made by kodak using nikon parts.
