The zoom will give you flexibility, the 50L is beautiful at close range plus the bokeh at F2 or so, you can underexpose by two stops and bring back the shadows and tweak in CaptureOne and the 5D is FF and will produce better files than your 6D. I couldn't imagine using the 24-105 with such a dark viewfinder, the speed of the lens effects the ability to focus in dark conditions. I would have no problem dragging the shutter, the flash will freeze the subject and help isolate them from the background. Why not do it right? Especially if you plan on doing similar jobs in the future, you want to deliver beautiful images and need them for self promotion.

I don't do this for the money, it's purely as a hobby and to document a good friend's milestone birthday. I plan on getting a 5D, but not until summer and I really would never need a 24-70mm for what I do. I have primes for low light. Hmm... do you think the 50 will be too tight even on my FF 6D? Maybe I should stick to the 35mm f/1.4 and zoom with my feet.
