I've seen a couple of posts in the DPR forums by those who seem to
be quite knowledgeable claiming that backlighting does work, but
that the larger the pixel size, the less effective it becomes. Have
you heard anything like this?

The problem with front-illumination is among others the wiring
obstructing the image sensitive area.

With huge pixels the percentage of pixel area covered by wiring is
probably smaller than with small pixelsand this could be a factor.
