I rather have 5D2. The DR of the 5D2 even exceeds the 1Ds MkIII. One reason to buy a 1D body of any type is the hundreds of thousands of clicks they're designed to manage. If you're never going to get there, then heed Moore's Law and buy the latest, greatest technology that you can afford at the time. The sensor is the core decision factor in all digital camera purchases. It's not the only factor, only the core or first factor.
