No longer a newbie, moving up!
I think it really depends on what the person need. A multimillionaire may just buy a point and shoot camera instead of high end DSLR simply because of that's what he/she need. That person may feel guilt if he/she spend more for a high end setup that he/she does not need.
For me, camera purchase is quite personal. I like a lighter setup. So 6D maybe better for me (or the Sony A7 too)
Guilt or not can go both ways.
i.e.
- Now that after I'd try the 5D III, I'm glad I saved $200 for getting the 6D. There are no difference at all what so ever between the 2 cameras when I taking my nature and family photos!!
or
- Man! I wished I spend the extra $200 for that 5D III used body. Is it me or the camera? I just can't get the focus right for those flying birds. It must be the camera. IT MUST BE!
So it is really up to your friend for what he/she want.
