Ditto. I've got the same P-5 plate you link on the bottom of my 5DII, P-20 plates on my tripod collars, and Wimberley C-12 clamps on my tripod and monopod heads. The only place I don't have an AS-type connection is on my 7D - it's not a big deal, as I almost always use the 100-400mm on that body, and my plan was to get a Kirk/RRS L-bracket for the 1D X, then transfer the P-5 plate to the 7D when I sell the 5DII.
