Which lenses do you currently own, and what kind of pictures do you take?
If you shoot slide film, you may find the 1/3 stop aperture and shutter
speed adjustment on the 1n, 1v, and 3 to be more helpful (it's 1/2 stop on
other bodies).
The 1v is overkill unless you own one of the new image-stablized
super-telephoto lenses. It's really designed for sports and wildlife
photographers.
The shutter release(s) on the 1n, 1v, and 3 has a much better feel. On these
cameras, the shutter release has a progressive spring that makes it
virtually impossible to accidentally take the picture if you are pressing
the shutter release halfway down to lock the exposure (or focus).
If you don't own an L-series or a decent prime lens, you may consider buying
one of these first. These will help you get the most out of your pictures.
