Top of the line tools really make a difference in photography. Back in 2007 when taking a photography class, you could see the difference in quality between a top of the line DSLR that some senior students had and point-and-shoot cameras without interchangeable lenses. Even though the composition was good from both, the difference in quality really made you biased towards photos produced by the higher end gear. Depth of field, sharpness, noise, all those things. And everything you mentioned as well - not having to take multiple shots, because you can always crop later, not having to get as close to the subject for people photography, so perhaps getting more shots.
