Its minolta Dave but I have other fd mount stuff that I would like to use on my 600d I know adapters are pretty crap hence the thought of swapping the actual mount.

A Sony A5000 is going for £250 with a kit lens, probably cheaper without. It would probably give a better image, better DOF/exposure preview, better MF assistance and fit pretty much any full frame lens on the planet with a basic adaptor, plus the option of full-frame equivalence with a £100 Lens Turbo II. Is it worth trying to get a crop frame DSLR to use these lenses?

Probably not but in ignorance of the dificulty I hoped it may be possible.

Steve.
