I have been comparing these two as well coming from the original 7D and what made me decide on the 5D3 was that it's basically a full frame 7D with a slightly slower framerate. You really get a different camera that is better in low light, for wider images. So instead of getting a wide angle lens for the 7D, I added that money to the 5D3 which evened out the price difference.
To me, the benefit is that you have the 7D for things which require tele (animals, planes, sports, action) and the 5D3 for landscapes, portraits, dark events, studio work) It really extends what you can do with your lenses.
On the 6D, I missed the 7D focus system, so that was not an option.
I now shoot about 75% 5D3 and 15% 7D (and 10% 100D because that fits in a pocket
