The specifications that a camera has do not always accurately predict the actual, real-world PERFORMANCE of that camera. Sometimes the bare-bones "specs" on one or two metrics simply do not reflect how well the entire system comes together. A great example was the Nikon D2x...it had only an 11-area AF system, with 9 cross-type sensors...I think that camera's AF performance is every bit as good as, and in some scenarios actually better than, the performance of the 51-point AF system in the D3x.
Yeah, I'll take extremely accurate focal points over a metric crap load of them any day of the week. I wouldn't even mind the 5DII's 9 point system if it wasn't for the fact that the 8 non cross type were crappy as all get out.
