The 7d is a good camera, the 7d mk2 is a better camera, and no you cant simply rule out the crop sensor camera's, I bought my missus a 1000d as I was not sure how much she was going to enjoy photographer, but she is enjoying it and even getting some nice pics.
Your 17mm lens on your crop camera will give you the same image that a 27mm lens will get on a full frame camera.
I am thinking of buying a 5d mk3, but I have to sell some of my other gear first.
Pentax K-50 looks like a good camera, its still a crop sensor (APS-C) but it is weather sealed, compared to other cameras of the same level.
Don't get drawn into the megapixel game, unless you are going to be printing of your pics, you basically don't need more that 10megapixels, something along those lines.
You would be better off deciding what you are going to be using it for and then go from there.
My 1d is a tank and can be used in all kinds of weather conditions, its why I got it so I can still take pics in the shit weather of our country, its only 10megapixels, but still gives very good images.
Don't think brand new is best, you could get a good second hand camera and even a lens for £300-£400.
