Yes, that's really the nub of the matter - any perceived advantage CCD backs have (if indeed they do) are easily swept aside by the added functionality that CMOS brings - particularly clean high ISO, DR and Liveview.The best i can add to this fractious, and ultimately pointless, debate is that, while some difference is real, CMOS is so much better in more important ways (cost, ISO/DR, Liveview) that this functionally ends the debate.
Such a shame HB are raising the price of the CFV50c in Japan to match pricing elsewhere. From what I hear this has more to do with tantrums from dealers overseas than it has to do with economic realities. HB are presented with an opportunity to shoot themselves in the foot ... and they end up blowing their leg off. Sigh. Even at $15k it's still one hell of a proposition compared to the the IQ150/250, but at ~$10k it broke new ground. Oh well.
