High end compacts are not cheap either... And no DSLR will have a 28mm macro. And which compact does 1:1 macro?
If that macro is the tool for certain jobs, one should get the camera. If it is just a funny thing to play with, price is more of an issue.
On FF it is easier to get wider angle macro. But it is not that small, light and compact due to the bigger camera. On my 6D I have the slightly more narrow micro Nikkor 55mm f3.5. I also could use an extension tube with a EF 40mm f2.8 (this lens works well for macro). Or 50mm macro or standard primes with ext. tube. But it all works out a bit heavier, and most probably also more expensive.
