Beware of mercury vapour! Does some pretty weird stuff. http://www.muddypawz.net/dfst3
I'd play safe and go for the 3200 B&W. You may be disappointed with the colour shots if the lighting's like I had. Last time I was shooting in an arena (see above) I was only getting 1/350 at 2.8 so it would appear that it's pretty bright in the Palace. Won't harm to try both if you're able but my first choice would be the B&W. While you're there, pop over and take a look at the agility. A few of my friends will be there competing.
