I think you master plan is sound! From looking at the 5D specs, I think the 20D wins hands down for what you want.

That may put pressure on the 20D pricing, and open up an additional option. I know those who wait for the next update never execute.

It doesn't matter to me though, because Whatever the next new thing is, as much as I may want it, the 20D as is now will do everything I will need it to do and do it well. Sony RX10 M4
