My thoughts:
I like this kit- it has pretty good coverage. I kindof wish I had a newer body(like a 5dmkII) for lowlight work- I can shoot to print at about 1600 but no more than that. I'd also like live view too.
You can find my work online at www.mikedote.com . Let me know if the work lives up to the kit...
You may wish to consider a Canon XSi body. It has Live View -- a very useful function for fine-tuning manual focus especially when doing macro work. Its ISO goes to 1600, and produces usable images at ISO800. Of course, the Canon T1i performs much better in low light.
As to lenses, you may wish to consider the 85mm f/1.4. You'll likely put it to use more often than the 135mm f/2.0. L. It costs way less, too.
I've also considered getting a tiny body that I can carry around. An XSI would do the job... I'm also thinking to save up and get a 40d, which would be useful.

Why would you need another camera...you already have two. Do you make full use of the two you already have?
brucem48: It does very well- I wish it had IS for indoors stuff with it. It did a great job for me for 2 fashion weeks- although I did have to have it repaired by the end of the first fashion week. The lens is pretty much the same glass as as the canon with a lighter and less durable build.
