Actually low 800s even if I had zero inquiries in the last 2 years.

And so what ? Even when I was low 700s, it never made a difference to the rate on any loan (I always check). I don't push the multiples on my mortgages, and maybe it would count a little more for someone who did. But you can fix any effect completely in 2 years, so unless you expect to move house or refi in the next 2 years (not most of the population) what difference does it make ?

In a pissing contest, it matters...

There's no prize for dieing with the highest FICO score. If you're planning on buying a house or something you shouldn't be churning, otherwise who cares if you're a 750 or 805?

EDIT: Doh, I didn't see the two previous near-identical posts... must check for a 2nd page before posting...

OK, I guess I was being overly defensive. The point I was trying to make is how far out of proportion people can get about maximizing their credit score.
