If I were you, I certainly wouldn't jump ship because some instructor likes to pimp Canon kit. I'd find a camera you're happy using (if that's the D80, then great!) then save up for some good glass and not worry about what someone else thinks.
As a Canon 5D user .... I definitely agree.
If you need a zoom lens that goes out to 10mm then there really isn't much else to choose from than the Sigma. Not that there's much wrong with it (though it will vignette awfully on a 5D!). It's certainly true that it's much easier to get a choice of high quality prime & zoom wide angle lenses for a full frame camera but there is plenty of high quality glass that will go out to 28mm equivalent for the D80 - like e.g. the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8.
