I got to the point where I almost gave up photography...until I found out about EOS 60D... 
1. if you think like that, then clearly you're not grasping photography properly yet. 2. and based on the above, if you can't snap properly with your A300 then i don't see how you can do better with a 60D.
should read this http://www.goldfries.com/photography/just-...grade-buy-next/ which I think applies to you (and many people)

if you ever try a f2.8 lens you'll noticed the quality immediately
yeah right, probably just a little more creamy bokeh that gets the newbies all wet but in reality it's not like that.it's a widespread misconception that as long as the lens is f2.8 and constant aperture = it's all good! IT IS NOT.
there are plenty of crappy f2.8 constant aperture lens out there.
look at Canon 28-300L. no f2.8 and no constant aperture. superb lens.
the quality of image captured, are determined by the quality elements used in the lens build (eg, good glasses) - not determined by being wide aperture.

Yes. Lenses does affect the image quality. It would be absurd to say that lenses does not affect image quality. If that were true why would people pay thousands upon thousands of dollars to get premium lenses?
Quality premium lenses do affect image quality. They will give you sharper pictures and render your image with more contrast.
Talking about Sony DSLRs and Carl Zeiss lenses, have you ever looked through a Zeiss lens? The first time I looked through a Zeiss lens, I immediately noticed the color difference that the Zeiss lens produces as compared to a kit lens. That is merely by peering through the viewfinder. When taking pics I noticed that certain colors tend to pop out better using a Zeiss lens.
Other than that premium lenses also gives you better CA and flaring controls and will mostly offer better bokeh. Thus using the same body with different lenses will affect your output to some extent.
It's always better to pair low end body with premium lenses than to pair high end bodies with cheap kit lenses.
take note of this post guys.Quality premium lenses do affect image quality. They will give you sharper pictures and render your image with more contrast.

yes. lenses does affect image quality, as in the details and colors. less "side effects" like CA and barrel distortions and whatever else.
the only thing is to understand what you need.
there's no reason to go pro-grade lens if you're shooting for fun but if you're doing business, then a decent glass is always helpful.
if $$$$ is not an issue, getting a cheaper glass is fine but make sure you know how to work around it. there is always a limitation.
