the Mk IV is optimised for sports shooting, high rate rate with buffer to match and is excellent for that purpose. if you friend is doing landscape/portraits the 5DMKII is a better value for moey proposition.
I have shot some landscape with the MKIv but I got it primarily for adventure sports photography.
Save the money and get some good glass. If Money is no problem than get the MKIV and some good glass and enjoy lugging the extra weight around
