Thanks for the replies people, I think I'll probably keep hold of the 7D until it completely pops its clogs and then get a 5D4 when it's released.
The 5D3 AF blows the 7D into the weeds. It's not close. Your keeper rate will more than double for things like birds in flight. The 7D2 and the 5D3 are equivalent in AF capability. (I've owned the 5D2, 7D, 5D3, 7D2 and 5DsR, in case you're wondering how I'd know).

I'd bet that the main improvements in the 5D4 will be incremental AF and sensor performance. Nothing earth shattering.
