Swapping lenses is simply too slow.

The 7D is probably still going to be superior for well lit macros.

I 100% agree, I see a lot of photographers using the 5DIII as the main and keeping their MKII as a backup.

I use my 7D for 90% of my macro fun just because of the remote trigger ability, extra zoom, and sharpness. The 5DIII may have the same sharpness in the end, but as far as I can tell, I can't remotely trigger flashes without a popper (haven't seen any info on it yet)

But if I do end up with the mk III I will get rid of one of the 2 either the MKII or the 7D. Time will tell.
