I ' m jealous ! I ' m pretty obsessed about home design stuff . What did you pick ? I ' ve been trying to pick out fabric for new curtains for our new house for nearly a year . I ' ve got the blackout layer finished for all of them , but can ' t commit to any fabrics for the face sides . It doesn ' t help that we have three separate banks of windows that are 16 feet wide by 8 feet tall and a few others 8 x 8 and 4 x 8 here and there , so any fabric above a certain $ yard ends up being about $ 1 k for the room . I agonize over it being a design and color I can live with for a long , long time and then give up . <| sep |> BYU fights all the time , looks can be deceiving . <| sep |> The only real upgrade in image quality would be to go full frame . There is not that much to be gained in crop besides maybe the 80 D with a bit more dynamic range . If you haven ' t had issues with the focussing of your T 2 i , maybe a 6 D would also be an option as it ' s a bit cheaper , but the 5 DIII you ' re mentioning seems like a decent deal , too . As for the 1116 , the equivalent would be the 1635 or 1740 on full frame . You could make up for the aperture you ' re losing on the 1740 by the better ISO performance of full frame if you need to . If you want to do astro wide field stuff , you could also go for a fast 24 or the 142 . 8 .
