I think you'll really like the 85mm 1.2L on the 5D. It's much more Nocti-
and 75-lux-like at full frame. If you never tried your 85mm 1.2L on an EOS
film camera, it'll be like discovering a whole new short telephoto in your
kit. With no weight or space penalty. (But, honestly, who would want to
carry two of those chunks around, anyway?)
