Which lenses do you have now? And what camera do you have now?
A 24mm f1.4 seems to be a kind of strange choice for APS-C... Or rather, a D300s is a bit of a strange choice for the FF 24mm, which turns into a 35mm f2. A FF body with 35mm f2 lens would seem a more logical choice to most?
Same for the other lenses... 50mm f1.4 -> 85mm f1.8 is a good equivalent on FF, much cheaper too.
85mm f1.4 -> 135mm f2.
So... going full frame will be cheaper, as the lenses will be MUCH more affordable....
And why the change (any reason, even nonsensical ones, is fine... just curious, as the 7D does not really have to hide for the D300s)?
And it is not like the Canon lenses are worse either?
Anyway, those are my questions... why not going FF, as the lenses you list only really make sense on FF, and on FF you can get the same with way cheaper lenses for the same results...

i have a 7d, a 24mm and a 100mm.
what i like in the nikon side is that spot metering is tied to which ever af point you are using, i think canon also offers this featured but only on the 1d line.
i like it that the d300s has 51 af points. even though all 19 points on the 7d are cross type, i've read that the ones on the d300s is just as quick and just as accurate, i cant say for sure though.
i like how nikon's battery grip has its own joystick or controller so choosing af points while holding the camera in portrait orientation isn't very difficult, i'm having a hard time reaching the main dial at the back of the 7d when griped.
also, some nikon lenses can be used on m4/3 without losing aperture control. my dslr and m4/3 camera can share lenses.
canon is great, but i guess i'm a little curious, and would like to try nikon. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

my reasons might be petty, but if i can find a good deal for my canon then why not?
i have thought about going full frame before, but i hear that af on the 5ds aren't very reliable...i guess if i'm going nikon i can get a d700 and start with a 35mm and slowly build my set up from their.
still, i'm curious about the focus shift on nikon primes and would like to hear from those who have experienced this. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
