Better to increase the ISO

It is better to increase the ISO setting rather then underexposing. Better yet it to go ahead and get that faster lens. When you underexpose and then adjust in the conversion of the raw file you get more noise then a properly exposed image, and in low light you are often fighting noise anyway.
