I dont have any experience using full frame, but I know that you will get shallower depth of field due to the larger sensor (when at the same aperture as a crop sensor found in the likes of the 7d, 60d, 700d etc). Which give a very 3d look when using a wide aperture lens.
As continuity said, 50mm on full frame is 50mm, which also means you get less reach with your lenses.
So if your preferred lens is say, a 100mm on a 7d, you'll need a 160mm on a full frame camera, which may be an issue depending on what you shoot. Thats why most wildlife photographers choose a 7d over a full frame. In fact for wlid life photography micro four thirds is a great combo of image quality and reach as it has a 2x crop factor vs the canon 7d 1.6x. (a 100mm on the 7d is 160mm, a 100mm on micro four thirds is 200mm.)
Then you have to consider all available full frame lenses vs your current gear. The full frame 24-70mm L series is built like a tank, you can really see why its at the price it is when you have a look at one.
The full frame nikons are meant to be great also so I'd consider those too, although if video is your thing canon is decent, but then again if video is your thing you should consider the Lumix GH range.
Also the new full frame sony A7 looks great, its high iso video is pretty mind blowing, but has a limited selection of lenses as it uses the nex e mount, but they do have some high quality zeiss glass.
I dont know your level of cam knowledge or your shooting purposes (and i dont know much about full frame), but hope that helps in some way.
