Well, fwiw, I made my decision right before this board went down - bought the Canon 20D, EF 24-105 f/4L USM IS (ok, so I'm waiting for that one), EF 50mm f/1.4 USM (great to have anyways, and definitely necessary while I wait for the previous one), EF70-200 f/2.8L USM IS, 1.4x TC.
I'm very happy with the gear so far - a bit awkward getting used to autofocus (can you believe it?) combined with autoexposure. "When you press half way, what sticks...?"
I figure as long as I am starting over, and Canon seem to have such a strong commitment to full frame, it makes sense to take advantage of that fact and get the good glass from the start, and when I find myself actually making money in this business, move up to a 1Dxxx body (or 5D).
I also picked up an Elan 7 film body as a backup/film body which I am really liking - the controls, form factor, logic are all very similar to the 20D, so it's not too jarring to switch back and forth.
Already have over 1000 clicks behind me - starting to learn how to work all this stuff.
