That setup will probably run you $1500. I'm sure Nikon offers a great camera (D90 or something?) in the same price area, but I'm a canon guy. I'm currently having issues with my old 30D/17-55 setup, seems to produce a lot of soft images at smaller apertures. Frustrating.

The T2i is a great camera, too. You probably wouldn't notice a MAJOR difference on day time shots, depending on the lens. In low light there would be more noise.
Most of my night time shots are handheld (like the Convention Centre pictures I posted earlier), that would be semi-difficult with another camera.
Of course any good editing program can fix things, even the 5D's shortcomings.
If you are experiencing lens distortion, you could try using DxO, and downloading the appropriate lens modules to "fix" it.
