5DM3 is not doing all I hoped...wanting to upgrade to 1DX

Sorry, I meant more specifically, have you had good results shooting your 'key situation' specialist subject in the past? If so what did you use?
I'm not having a go, just thinking of alternate solutions, you are using some of the finest kit available to man.

Huh? I've had my RSS L-bracket for the 5DIII + BG-E11 for weeks, now, maybe over a month, and I had one for the un-gripped 5DIII for at least a few weeks before I got the one plus grip (couldn't wait).
You'll be glad to know that the BG-E11 version is awesome, fits like a glove, and actually makes the vertical grip a bit more comfortable than without. The non-gripped version is decidedly "meh."
Cheers,

Mate, I owned 2x5d3's and now a 1DX - there are massive differences in performance and IQ.
For one there is no rainbow noise in the low isos and 12K on the 5d3 is about the same as 40K on the 1DX (with better looking noise and no rainbow effect)
In good light there is no-competition in the af between 2 bodies - the 5d3 is fast - the 1dx is instant.
There is no slow down in af when in body processing is turned on or the battery levels go below 40% like on the 5D3 - the slow down in having focus priority for servo turns 5 fps to 3 - no hit on fps on the 1dx (3 cpus make sure of that)
The facial tracking and light meter on the 1DX is something else - it truly lives up to its 1Series designation.
I don't care for video so cant give input there.
Now the drawback is there is a bug with the AF on the 1DX (and it may extend to the 5D3) when shooting with the servo in low light - see my post http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=7820.0 which I am working with Canon in isolating. But setting the fps to 10 or lower - fixes 90% of the problem.
I don't own the 5d3's anymore - for Me anything above iso 400 isn't worth using, way too much pattern noise, and 3fps is useless to Me. I will be buying another 1DX shortly if Canon fix this bug.

What are you shooting? I don't notice any difference at all in metering or IQ. In fact, the 1DX out of camera looks a bit underexposed to me. Could just be me though, but IQ? No way. You just want to see improvement in IQ, so you see it. It's human nature. Massive differences? What rainbow effect? I've been shooting two 5D Mark III's as well, since April and I have no idea what you are talking about, sorry. ISO noise about 400???? Wow, did you get bad copies?

Fashion, and landscapes basically with the 5D3
When i took them back to the store they could visibly see the banding on the back lcd screen it was that bad. So they refunded them without question.
Some people believe i got bad copies - but I'm not game to buy a 3rd.
Metering is very very accurate on the 1DX - i believed it was 0.5 under each shot but if you look at the target points RBG values its protecting the target from blowing a channel - its rather interesting how they did it. It's not right to my eye but its correct via histo.
The 5D3 is basically identical to the 7D (which to my eye always looked good).
I've owned both so was just giving a little input to someone looking at moving up the series. It may not fall inline with everyones experiences but they are mine :)
