At the moment I use my 1DMarkII N for birds and my 30D with Canon 100mm macro for Macro. I was wondering what size sensor would be best for Macro, would the full frame 5D offer any advantages over 1.3 and 1.6.

I'd say the 40D for many features including 1.6x and live view.

1.6 sensor will give you better depth of field. But the 1d MKIII will give you better image quality, so for a compromise I would say the 1D MKIII.
