Ditto. Thanks for mentioning that.
Going 'Full Frame' doesn't really give you much in the way of improved image quality (only about a stop less noise and a stop better dynamic range), and it reduces the Depth of Field, which can hurt, especially for what you want to do. It also adds bulk, weight and cost, all of which can be better invested elsewhere. Plus there's the benefit of the crop factor as peterock33 has pointed out.

It would be accurate to say that in order to get the same angle of view on the full frame camera a longer lens would be required and that would affect DoF. But the format doesn't affect that.

A 'Full Frame' sensor paired with a 150mm lens, with the same aperture and focus distance has a total DoF of less than 300 feet.
