I know you said you dont want to get any more EF-S lenses but personally id stick with STM lenses for now if you plan on using a crop camera for a while longer. The 50mm f/1.8 STM is better than the f/1.4, and the 24mm f/2.8 STM is really nice. Both would cost you hardly anything and both are very good lenses.

In fact this is what i did when i couldnt get on with my latest 17-55 f/2.8 on my 80D. The 50mm of course will still work on FF, and in fact to my eyes works even better on FF than on my crop camera.

This would also leave you more money for a FF body later on.
