Do you want full-frame with old-style AF, or do you want crop-sensor with really good AF and not so good low light high ISO?
If you can stand the old style AF, the 5D mark 1 for $679.95 at that B&H link @ok_not_ok listed is quite a nice deal, spend the extra on lenses or E-TTL flashes...5D mark 1 and mark 2 had similar AF, the 5D mark III had much improved AF.... 5D mark 1 has no video though...
If you shoot moving stuff in bright light and want crop frame, like sports in the sun, the 7D has very nice AF, and video, but the sensor is noisy at higher ISO's and the skin tones on the original 5D are much nicer in my opinion, as a photographer who has worked with files from both...
sensor tests from dxomark:

also Canon is due for some new stuff according to canonrumors.com, so prices may drop on some used stuff, but no new 7D till 2014 supposedly...
