Right now I have a T4i w/18-135 STM and 40mm STM lenses and the 430 EX II Speedlite. I use the Speedlite to bounce the flash off the ceiling and am getting pretty great results.

Now I was looking into what full-frame cameras would offer me if I upgraded and it made me think of upgrading to a new Sony A7 full-frame camera. But the dilemma would be that it's a lot more expensive so I doubt I would have an external flash for it. Now, would the full-frame sensor without flash give me the same results as a T4i w/bounce flash?

Depends on the ambient light conditions, but usually the advantage of FF is only about 1-2 stops,  and presumably your flash adds a lot more light than that.

Most of my photography is indoors of my 4 year old daughter and soon to be newborn daughter.

Any recommendations would be welcomed. Thanks!
