Hi, my name's Michael and I'm looking to upgrade from my 550D to either a 6D or a 1Ds mark iii. I like star photos and landscape shots, especially night ones, but also take portraits and the (very) occasional action shot. I'm just wondering which camera would be best for the job? I wouldn't use the wifi, GPS or video capabilities of the 6D but would love having a weather proof body, better resale value?, awesome build quality and awesome auto-focus on the 1Ds III. A big question is whether the 6D has far superior high-ISO performance? (the 1Ds iii goes to ISO 1600, while the 6D goes to 25600! both without expansion) and would give better looking photos (5 years newer). The 1Ds would probably be another $700 more which I'd only just be willing to spend.
My shooting style is that I normally spend an hour or so in one spot getting one setting perfect, then setting the next. I care about image quality foremost and will use the body with a 50mm f1.4 and a 24mm f1.4L ii mostly. My favourite photos are here:

Thanks!
