for now ill stick with my 40D and eventually go full frame with a 5DmkII. but id keep the 40D as well, just for birding, wildlife and sports.

I think that's a perfect plan for someone that already owns a 40D.
Having both a FF and a crop-sensor sounds like a luxury, but if you do any wildlife or sports, the bigger image in the viewfinder of the crop-sensor improves your accuracy of focus dramaticly. The 40D gets that part done. OTOH, when it comes to scenics, portraits, general travel and almost everything else, a FF gives you so much detail to work with that it seems almost like your cheating. The high ISO performance of the 5D2 has changed my approach to low light photography immensely.
