A couple of years ago I used to get a misfire at around 80, turned out to be a cracked sparkplug, the mechanic had put a hair line crack in one when installing them a couple of week before.

Had similar problems with my MY00, although the hesitation was usually on light throttle at various revs. Replace MAF, Lambda, plugs and leads. This improved matters but problem was still there slightly. Replaced the MY00 Ecu (AE802) with a ecu from a MY99 (AE801) and the problem disappeared. Car drives smooth right through rev range now. It's like a different car with the AE801 in and it's quicker!!
