Go for it, Ted! There's really no comparison between the 20D and the 5D. The 5D has more in common with the Canon pro bodies like the 1DsMII. It's not as big and heavy or sealed as well, but the full frame 12.8 MP files are worth the upgrade and the new batteries last much longer than the 20D batteries. I still prefer the focusing points on the 1DMII, the vertical shutter button and the battery that lasts for weeks, but I find myself using the 5D much more than the 1D.
