The 40D may have a nice in-camera noise reduction feature, but the 5D can easily have noise reduction applied in post as well. The 5D will definitely produce far less noisy images simply due to the pixel size.
@joefish - here are some things to think about.
24-70mm 2.8 - why not the Tamron 28-75? About $800 cheaper, very highly regarded IQ, and constant 2.8. Will still be significant upgrade from the 18-55. You lose those 4mm at the wide end. If those are important for what you do, what about the 17-40mm for ~$500? The 40-70mm gap between your zooms is filled nicely by the 50mm.
85mm 1.8 - you could just use your 70-200L for portraits since you have the 2.8 version. Can't get that super narrow DOF, but 2.8 ain't bad.
300mm 2.8 - I'd suggest that a prime may not be great for event photography. Get the Canon 1.4x for your 70-200mm or the 70-300mm IS.
