Except, perhaps, you have one motor instead of one in each and every lens? Seems more sensible to me... And if you update the motor, you'll see an improvement for *all* lenses.
If you have an original EOS lens, and buy a new lens, you have just updated your AF technology. If you are using a 20 year old camera with the drive motor in the camera, you are stuck with that technology until you ditch the camera.
Does it matter, anyway, where you put the motor? Aren't the most important factors in an AF system what the sensor does and how you process its data - and how fast you do it?
The most important factor is how efficienty the overall system works. Lens driven AF is more efficient than body driven AF.
