5d vs 5d mk ii HELP!

im going to buy the 5d mk ii because i work for an authorized canon reseller and canon has put out a discount for employees.

my dilemma is trying to decide whether to sell my 5d to fund the 5d mk ii, and be without a camera until it is delivered..
OR
to cash all the savings bonds ive had since i was born (which are to pay for college), pay for the mk ii, and when it arrives, sell my 5d for the $$$ to put towards school.

what do you think?!

dont cash your bonds just for the 5dII, when you already have the 5D. my .02

+1. why do you feel the need to upgrade to the mkii over getting some of your "dream" glass?

the reason im compelled to buy the 5dii is because i get a $700 discount.. and i feel like an ass not buying it for that cheap

how many can you buy? is there a limit? i would buy and sell and get the glass you want!

and the only reason im considering the 5dii is because i have the 5d to sell. i would get the lenses if i had lenses to sell or $$ to spare to fund the dream gear.

i can only get one body i wish i could buy a bazillion and sell them to all you faithful advice-givers here at POTN!!!

might not be a bad idea then.

then again you are still gonna have to shell out about 800 bucks additional to get that 5dII. that could be a 24 or 28-70 2.8
