OK, regarding "picking up both the 1D3 and the 1Ds3, why not just invest in longer glass...", the 1Ds3 (and 5D2, for that matter) actually yields a tighter picture after the outer 11.1 megapixels are cropped away, compared to a native 1D3 exposure on the same lens. As long as one doesn't mind cropping, having the two models yields options that longer glass might not.
