I suggest you investigate System.ServiceModel.Channels.ReceiveContext to
exercise greater control over precisely when acknowledgements are sent.
This is only available in .NET 4 though. From the docs:

"...receive context allows a service to control when it sends an
acknowledgement message or it can indicate a problem by sending a
negative acknowledgement message."
