I think we both came to some of the same conclusions, but having had use of the 40D's Live View (especially for macro work) I feel it's a feature I'm going to miss. That, plus the sensor cleaning (I'll have to buy a blower now!) and the lack of auto ISO in AV mode. I do love the shallower depth of field with the 5D and I can't wait to have a proper landscape session once I get a full frame replace for my EF-S 10-22mm lens.

It is interesting how much one can get accustomed to a tool. For example, switching from 40D to 5D gave me a feel of a worse auto-focus. It's probably just different behavior and after mastering one tool, the little changes are annoying. Sounds like the new 5D will work great for you. Great writeup.
