No dispute from me. I was just commenting on the complexity of the trade-offs. 
It really can get tricky.

Example:  Tamron 24-135 on 5D, something far away to shoot. How will full Sammy 
frame @ ISO 400, 360 mm, F5.6 compare to 
a cropped ~1/7 of a 5D frame @ ISO 1600, 135 mm, F8.

I don't know the answer, but sometimes ask myself such questions. :-)
