Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Couple things...
I got my UOA results from the Rotella, and it was exactly what I expected... oil had thickened enough to be just out of spec for a 40 weight. Wear metals were all elevated a point or two (nothing really stood out, maybe ghosts of a previous analysis??).
I have around 5k miles on the S9000... nice stuff. Engine is smoother, turbo even seems to sound/act different (quicker/louder spooling, longer to "unwind" on decel). I seem to have gained a two tenths of an mpg on this latest run to WA and back. As a side note, it is staying visually cleaner for longer... Rotella would be black around 2k, this is still clear at 5k.
I'm very pleased with the S9000 at this point... will take a UOA around 10k to see how its holding up.
