Canon's new 450D with a 12 MP sensor might be a good option if you only want to spend 1000 for a body.

I already own a 12.7 MP Canon camera, which is the 5D. I don't want to step down.

And, after buying the MKIII, the noise is NO better than the current 5D, even though you get 60.4(+-) % more pixels--no where near "twice the pixel count." (12.7 vs 21)

21 x .605 = 12.7

You've got your math a little wrong here as you do not get 60.4% *more* pixels with the 1DsMkIII.

In fact you get  ((5616*3744)/(4368*2912)-1)*100% = 65.3% *more* pixels with the 1DsMkIII compared to the 5D.

The other way around the 5D has (4368*2912)/(5616*3744)*100% = 60,5% of the pixels of the 1DsMkIII , meaning you have 39,5% *less* pixels with a 5D compared to the 1DsMkIII.
