I'm ok with cropped sensor because I like my 10-22mm lens and I understand the speed is superior in the 7D...I'm interested in low light abilities...that's more important to me.
So....what would you do?
For me it would be no choice to go with the 5DmkII. I would think the only thing that could hold you back is if you had a nice lens lineup that might be crop specific (as in 17-50 Tamron, Sigma 30 f/1.4, or similar crop lens). The 7D (i shoot with lots) is really an awesome body as well. I enjoy the focus modes and it, when paired with the 24-70, focuses very quick. Although i've never shot with the MKII, the full frame bug is something i was bit with a while ago. So i guess if i was ever to upgrade (i have a 50D), it would be a 5DmkII. Just something about the colors / contrast / shallower DOF that crops just do not match in my book.
