I agree, this is a no-brainer.

Forgot to mention that I too have the 24-70 mark ii and the combination of these two are unbeatable.

If I was spending that kind of money I would get a 6d and a 70d body only on both. A very good full frame and a very good crop frame for when I wanted the extra reach. With the savings from not getting the 5 I would add another piece of glass. But which piece?????

The "extra reach" is not real, I call it "digital magnification". When the images are viewed at the same size, either a print or on a monitor, the 70D image has to be magnified by an extra 1.6x factor. I think the 5D Mark III is better than both these cameras combined.

I have owned a 5D MkIII now for a year. I also have a nice 60D for a backup that I have yet to use (perhaps I will when I send my 5D in for a cleaning next week).
The 5D MkIII in low light is amazing. I really prefer ambient light when ever possible, and my flash is seldom used. While I have not used a 6D, and thus cannot compare the two, you will have to pry the 5D MkIII from my cold, dead hands, in the end. I know it was expensive, I clearly got what I paid for,
One other item: I have yet to meet a 5D Mk III user who was not happy with their camera.
Good luck.

I have a 6D and I love it. Great camera. Has some limitations as far as focus and fps. Would trade it in a second for a 5DMkIII, which seems to have the best of everything, in comparison.

A buddy of mine has both a 5DIIIN and a 6D. While he loves his 5D, he said he sees little difference between the two. I've no idea. I use a 1D.

If you don't get much for your used 7d, why not keep it as a back up for the 5dlll

The specs show a very slight advantage in low light, but in reality it is virtually unnoticeable. The AF system on the 5D MK III far surpasses the one on the 6D. I can auto focus with some lens in low light on my 5D MK III and when I put the same lens on the 6D, it searches and searches and maybe focuses. The slight low light advantage does no good if the AF is not quick and accurate. This is really easy to demonstrate in real life. The 24-105mm f/4L lens consistantly performs this way.
