Richard one thing to think about is that ISO 13485:2003 will be a stand alone standard. It may take a little time but IMHO you may see companies in the Medical Industry drop 9001:2000 and go with only 13485:2003.
Where I work I plan on keeping both, I do not want to limit our company from looking at other markets in the future and it is not costing us any extra to maintain certification to both so we may as well reap the benifits from both.
