60D or 7D - you can use your current lenses and happily shoot away while the 5d2 price drops. when it gets where you want it, if you want to change to FF and new glass you can do it then.

I recently did the same upgrade I picked up a used 40D and put my 30D in the backup slot. While resolution wise it is not much of a step up, the menu system is much improved as is the focusing and noise handeling.Being that I picked it up for half the price of a 50D and that it uses the same batteries and grip really made it a no brainer.

I voted for the 7D ... I have one and love it! I also ruled out the 5DMKII only because you seem to be on a budget and as others point out, your lenses won't work on the 5DMKII

I use the 7D along side my 5DMKII and couldn't ask for a better combo ... unless I get another 5DMKII to go with the other ;)
