I should really spell check before I hit send but oh, well.

Like everything else it's a price performance issue. If like me, you
think that the ultamate output of the photographic experience is
making a print, the question is can I make a descernibly better print,
(at some particular size), from a FF camera than I can from an APS-C
camera and at what cost. There are a lot of factors involved,
currently I think, (don't know for sure yet), my desktop will handle
the16mp files from a K5, I know it does pretty well with K20D files.
The maximum size of my current printer will handle is 13x19". However
I'm in the position of having a decent enlarger and lens combination
that is sized for up to 11x14" prints from 35mm and maybe will handle
6x6 format, (thought I probably should invest in a dedicated enlarging
lens for the larger format). If I move up to 36mp files it would be
like going to 4x5" skipping all the formats in between, and printing
20x30". The damned negative won't even fit in my enlarger. The prints
won't fit in my trays, the damned new enlarger won't even fit in my
darkroom on the old table. It's more than just the camera, it's the
entire system, and in spite of the fact that I really want to make
prints most of the time I just look at the contacts anyway.

Those looking for a reason to move to full frame will find it. Those
wishing not to will find reason not to.
