Kara, buying used is a great option if you can find the right seller. I've had A LOT of luck.
eBay keeps things accountable and for the most part, you are protected.
Craigslist can be great as well, as long as you can meet during the day in a public place.
I have bought a lot of glass (some stuff over 40 years old) over the last couple years without a problem.
To my surprise most SLR/DSLR owners are pretty good about keeping their equipment in good shape.
I say go for the full frame body as well. I don't think you will ever regret it, I too am into portrait/wedding/low light stuff.
I would love to jump over to full frame and have always bought my glass accordingly so.
