A 20D with a 17-35mm L Lense, and a 28-105mm lense gives me the same perspective as a 5D with my single 24-105mm L lense.
At 24mm, I am significantly wider then I was on the 20D at 17mm (with 1.6x mangification effect) I am only at 27.2mm
Not to mention the fact that any Image Stabilizing Lenses that I had, were almost useless as image stabilizers have alot of issues with the 1.6x magnification.
Thats my major gripe with the whole magnification factor thing.
I have been able to cut down from 4-5 lenses, to 1 current lense, and the plan to buy a 100-400 for car events.

For sure, I totally know what your tlaking about. BUT not everyone has thousands of dollars to spend on a full frame camera. And even alot of PROs dont use a use FF.
But if you have the cash, I woulda bought the best aswell. And the 5D is a serious peice of gear. It makes my D80 feel like a toy. And L glass, well I think most nikon guys do have white lense envy too.
