I decided to switch to digital for anything where I want to go over 400 ISO. My personal feelings are that the image quality of 800 ISO film is just terrible. YMMV based on personal preference, I know people who really like the look of fast film.
For a lot of photography, especially basic journalist event stuff, I find the fact that I can go to about 3200 without even thinking about it a huge benefit of digital.
You can call it “push” development, but ISO speed is actually measured with a specific developer, and you will get a different speed with different developers before you even push it. This is typically true for XTOL and Ilfosol 3. You basically get an extra half or two thirds of a stop just by using a better developer.
