I thought about buying the split screen with the initial purchase but decided to give the standard screen a go, coming from D800's, the difference in the viewfinder is incredible, I'm a huge manual focus fan, I use it 90% of the time and it is so easy with the standard screen that I haven't bothered to change.
With the firmware upgrade the focusing is excellent, very quick on the 70 and 100 although I don't use focus tracking, I have shot a couple of skiers doing tricks recently but went for pre-focussing on a point and hitting it at the right time, rather than a number of shots before and after from a faster camera, I end up with the single shot that I wanted, just a different way of working to the faster cameras. I don't do weddings so no idea how I would approach people moving towards me.
It sounds like you are ready to try it and see how it turns out, seems the best way to me, the prices on the 006 are really good at the moment so worth a punt in my opinion.
