Is the 7D the better 5D for filmmakers?

Plus, I suppose if we saw the same charts for the 5D as you're doing for the seven, it might just re-iterate that res isn't sharpness and sharpness isn't everything...

I don't have access to a 5D, and I don't know of anyone other than Alan Roberts who's shot a chart with one. But if you look at the zone plate he shot with the 5D, you'd see why I really don't think there's much of a difference between the 5D and the 7D.

The 5D will be a little more sensitive and will have a wider field of view, but as far as actual video performance and the scaling and moire and all those kind of issues, it looks like it'd probably perform the same as the 7D.
