Haha, well those are fairly big differences to me at least. If I was doing 90% portrait work like the OP I would not even think about the 1D4. The 5D3 is going to offer far more for that type of photography. I shoot sports/equine most of the time and I really wouldn\'t ever want to be limited to 6 FPS and a small buffer. Not to mention the difference in reach although not as bad as the 1D4/1DX comparison.
The 1D4 does great portraiture work, but again the difference in DOF between it and a FF is very minor. It is also very sharp and its ISO performance lies right between the 5D2 and 5D3. I never get these \"portraits require format X\" comments, because I have had them all, and when I match up glass properly to any format, they all do portraits nicely.
I only do this as a hobby, so these are not very pro, but I hope they get the point across.
