My problem with the 50mm is it is more like a 75mm on my DX, so it ends up being a portrait lens, more than general purpose.

I came to the same conclusion about 2 years ago regarding going full frame, I even took it a step further and went all in on mirrorless gear with portability being my primary motivator.
Traded/sold all my canon gear for Sony a6000 & e-mount lenses. My current set up consist of a 12mm Prime, 35mm Prime and the 16-55mm kit lens. The whole kit fits comfortably into a messenger style bag that's easy to tote around all day.
