I don't normally merge multiple exposures but wouldn't attempt your 
sample photo any other way because of the extreme dynamic range.  I may 
also be much more tolerant of shadow noise since I certainly do make 
frequent use of the shadow/highlight control... but not what I would 
have described as "pushing".  If the shadows get filled with color noise 
then I'd describe that as pushing.  I don't normally see that in my own 
stuff if I'm starting from a low ISO.
