Df vs 750

Struggling with purchasing either a Df or the new 750. I shoot primarily landscapes and occasional family. I like the idea of the Df because it's old school with new technology but the 750 has many of the functions I would like for landscape photography. Your thoughts and suggestions are very much appreciated.

I wouldn't give the Df a second thought, unless I had money to burn. Then I would get a "regular" camera and a Df. The Df has the old school appearance, but I think the D750 is a better camera.

I have no crystal ball... but would think the 750 will appeal to a larger potential audience, and therefor hold better resale value.
Df is by your terms "Old School" and by that definition alone appeals to a dwindling market.
It seems (to me) glass (Lenses) holds value but bodies lose value as technology advances; therefor you should consider how long you will be holding the body and your expectations for recovering value.
But hey, without a crystal ball I'm not sure the Df will not be discontinued and experience a period of increased value... but I am doubtful of that outcome.

In any camera, which functions do you consider important for landscape photography?
