I didnt have such a large investment in film kit - my lenses were all EOS mounts, so just went on the 1DsII when I switched from the 1V. But I still felt a bit reluctant to let the 1V go. I hung onto it for about a year without using it, then finally chopped it in against a 70-200 f2.8. My old EOS 300 is still going strong in the hands of my nephew.
On the whole, I have been very happy with digital - even when I was film based, I spent so much time scanning films and working with the digital version instead. The thing is though, every now and then I'll come across an old image taken on negative film, and think 'I couldnt have got that on digital' or something similar.
I think that's just nostalgia though - if I did go out and buy a secondhand 1V, it would just sit in the cupboard like the old one did. I'd do better upgrading my back-up body if I really cant resist the urge to buy some kit.
