This configuration is not IDEAL by virtue of the fact that I end up using good glass (85mm f/1.8 and the 70-200 f/4L IS) on my crop camera (50D) so perhaps my solution (to improved results) might be a body upgrade (50D to 6D perhaps) instead of a lens upgrade.

Your thoughts?

Honestly, that's what I would do, upgrade your 2nd camera to a 35mm, in fact you could buy a 6D body only refurb and 135 f2 L for roughly the same price as the 70-200 f2.8 IS II.
