I canvassed the issue with several professinoal photographers prior to buying. The universal answer was that:

1) the difference is less pronounced with new lenses.
2) the difference becomes even less pronounced with entry level cameras.

They instead said to get 2-3 well reviewed body/lens combos that would offer me a variety of options. Focus on that instead of the technical aspects.
