Anyone ever get confused on the user interface between the 5D & a 40D? I'm thinking of getting the 40D as a back up to the 5D. But I don't want to stumble w/ the 40D's interface while switching back & forth w/ the 5D. Thoughts?

It's more intuitive if you're coming from a 10/20/30 or 5D, which all pretty much have the same layout. The menu screen may take getting used to if you've never used a 1 series, but I'm sure you'll catch on quick and be able to easily bounce from one camera to another without having issues. The only way to get proficient at anything is to get out there and just do it. ~Spaceships Don't Come Equipped With Rear View Mirrors~
