Currently I'm using Canon T2i with kit lense 18-135mm IS, and 50mm f1.4USM

Now, I want to upgrade. Please give me advices.

Option 1: Keep T2i, and buy Canon 24-70 f2.8L USM or Canon 70-200 f2.8L II USM
Option 2: Sell T2i, buy Canon 7D with Canon 24-70 f2.8L USM
Option 3: Sell T2i, buy Canon 5D Mark II with kit lense 24-105 IS USM

Thanks everyone!

What is driving the upgrade?  I used to have a T2i and then now currently a 7d and 5dMkiii.  All my upgrades were driven by a specific need. 

What type of photography do you like?  Do you need a high FPS or a High ISO? 

When I went from the T2i to the 7d I noticed a touch of improvement in IQ but the real improvement was in ergonomics, shutterspeed, build quality, and AF.

The Mkii will increase your high ISO ability so if you do alot of indoor and low light photography then this will help.  Detail will also increase.  The AF and Shutterspeed could limit you so keep that in mind.

As far as lenses go I have both the 24-70 and 70-2002.8 II and they are very sharp but pretty heavy.  if you put the 70-2002.8 on the front of the T2i and that is going to be pretty unbalanced and not to fun to carry around.

If you don't have a specific reason to get rid of the T2i go for the glass.

I mainly take landscape, portrait, and wedding photos.
The main reason is I will be focusing on wedding photography, so I need the one that take nice portrait and fast.

PhilDrinkwater:
As a wedding photographer you need backup equipment. You don't want to be responsible for losing part of someone's special day.

Option 4: buy a 5dii, keep the current body as a backup, rent lenses as you need them until you can afford to buy..

EOBeav:
Option 3. And you can thank me in the morning.
