The D700 is am awesome camera, so if the D800 maintains the low noise qualities of the D700, it will be a winner.
My advise: get the D800e which has no anti-aliasing filter. The AA filter kills critical sharpness by intentionally blurring every pixel a tiny bit. This is done to prevent moire effects but my M( has no AA filter and I have seen moire in maybe 2 shots in 5000 and it is easily corrected in post.
The exception would be if you are taking a lot of closeups of fabric samples or some such subject that makes extensive use of high frequency lines in a small area. In that case, you might want AA - other than that good riddance.
