I went the Delta3200 @ 1600, and processed the film last night (D76 1+0 (stock) for 9.5 min @ 20C). I've managed to scan some, and I know it's not much of an indication, but with a little shadow and highlight or curves adjustments I'm getting pretty good tones and detail - somewhere in the blizzard of grain. Some of the results are beautiful.
If I find a frame that isn't too personal, I'll post it online. But I wouldn't say the film is under exposed. I let the EOS metering system do its thing, and once I made it bracket three shots by one stop. The +1 shot looks like it has more contrast and perhaps detail - that's the 800ISO shot then. It got images for me at apertures quite near wide open - so I did need that kind of speed.
I'd play with this film again for sure, it has a lot of potential (for me). Only problem is that it's expensive. 

Thanks for your help.

I use Delta 3200 frequently rating it at 1600 and process in DDX and love it. I shoot weddings and get beautiful low light shots that capture the mood of the event.
