But the point is we (or at least I) want a split prism. You're suggestiong a replacement for something that isn't actually a replacement. It's like saying to get a 24-70 instead of a 70-200.
The suggestion is appreciated, but not exactly the same thing.

Harley,
Awesome! Thanks! : D Sounds like the OptiBrite is definitely the way to go, then! Cool!
Ryusui - Gotcha, gotcha, I hear you.. It isn't the same thing, that's for sure. : ( Have you tried it, by chance? I can imagine tight portraits or macro work being easy with it, but maybe broader subject shots being more ambiguous, but really I have no idea.. Maybe Canon is like "eh.. you can change your screen out, so here's one for a very specific use.. don't forget to take it out when you're done!" It's a shame they don't have a split prism and/or microprism. They are both always helpful.
Ryusui:
I really would like to know why the 5D is left out in the cold here. Canon has the split and cross-split screens available for both the 1D and 1Ds. So it's obviously not a full-frame issue.

I'd like to understand that, too.

you can get the genuine canon EG-S screen for the 5D2 user replaceable and cost $30something
