I think you've got it slightly backwards - The 5D is completely full frame.
It supports EF lenses, which are Canon's standard lenses - the EF-S lenses are the 'digital' lenses that go on the Canon NON full frame cameras.
If you've purchased EF-S [the digital] lenses, then you'll have to ditch them, which won't necessarily be a bad thing, as their quality is inherently lesser than the EF range.
On another note, it really does come down to what YOU do with the camera, not the camera itself. I shot on a 300V [film equiv of the rebel] for ages, and it was perfect. When I had the urge to go digital, I 'had' to go with the 1DS, as it was the only full frame digital at the time - and seeing as I shoot a lot of wideangle, I couldn't use anything less. If it wasn't for the weather protection, I'd be on a 5D or less for sure.
If you're looknig to shoot content, perhaps the 1D M2 is better with its crazy framerate.
..or perhaps you do portrait work, which in that case, a non full frame camera is neat, because you get the 'free' focal length.
