The luxury of a full-frame viewfinder is worth all the downsides of full-frame shooting; like having to pay out extra for quality lenses, dealing with larger files, more storage etc. It is a scary move to pay out all that money, but once you take the plunge (assuming you can) you won't look back.

That's interesting Keith, because the research I've done so far on viewfinders would suggest that the Canon 5D MKII has only a 98% field of view. I think the main difference is to get one with a proper pentaprism as these tend to make them brighter as a rule.
