Back to the topic, both of them are great bodies and the 5D classic is by far not dated. The ISO handling up to 3200 is fantastic and well controlled.

ISO 800 (no noise reduction)


ISO3200 (no noise reduction)


Both taken with the 85 1.8 so not an L lens.

Its a weapon of choice for most wedding photographers for a reason, its ISO handling is stunning and serves its purpose. The only things which is does not have vs the II is the higher ISO range (not that important with a good set of primes), video rec (not important when I want to take photos) and sensor cleaning which I prefer to do manually since its far more effective.

Those low light photos turned out pretty good only because of the f1.8 lenses. It would look different if it was a f2.8. Because the focus range is so short, you wouldn't need any L lenses for great results.
