Big decision. Here are some comparison links. I love the D750. Consider your current DX lenses.
Read comparisons and specs, and decide what features are important to you.

I converted from a D7100 to the D500 for my cropped body because I use it for wildlife but have a D810 for other types of photography

My D750 is great, but the weight is its only downside.
One thing nice is using FX lenses on the DX sensor is the 1.5 factor. My 400mm then goes to 600mm.
The large sensor of the D750 produces a superior image if being enlarged on large prints.

Please correct me if I am wrong. The full frame mode does not add any additional factors, right? What you see is what you get IMO.
The sensor on the 750 is full frame, right? FX lenses are truly what they mean as far as zoom and any crop factors. Am I wrong?

A very nice comparison Techrod. I'm in full agreement so I'll try not to duplicate. I bought a d750 and love it for landscapes, portraits, places, things, street photography, etc but my passion is wildlife so I got a d500 too and I am extremely happy with this wonderful fast shooting camera.

There is no Crop Factor with a full-frame camera like the D750.

something else that two friends have ran into with their D500 is that Lightroom does not recognize their camera. Also had a friend with a new Canon that Lightroom does not recognize. I went from a D7000 to a D750 and have been more than satisfied. The 750 is excellent at high iso and low light. Good luck with whatever you choose, as others have said , there is really no bad choice.

The D500 is Nikon's best crop sensor DSLR presently, and not long ago, I saw it priced at $1800 with battery grip, bag, and SD card. The D750 was similarly priced. Each camera has an advantage over the other. Full frame is an advantage.The D500 is a prototype of the D5, having great focus capabilities, and the XQD card.

I have both and they are great! Depends on your needs. Sports/action and wildlife...D500. Landscapes, portraits ....D750. Either may be used for general purposes.

An upgrade to the D750 will be more expensive because you will need to purchase full frame lenses in addition to the camera. And if you are not frequently printing images at 20", a full fame camera will be a waste of money.
Your D7000 lenses will work fine on the D500. The advantages of the D500 are the high frame rate and deep buffer which are of great importance in photographing sports and wildlife. If you don't typically photograph and wildlife, the D500 is a bit of an overkill. Have you considered the D7200 or D7500? http://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/dslr-cameras/index.page#

Absolutely not true if using CC or the most current version.

Your friend just needs to update his version of LR. Almost anytime a new camera comes out, Adobe has to update software to read files.

When I was at this decision making point in November (D500 vs. D750) I purchased the D500. I was looking for a second camera to use for sports action along with my D5 and my D810 was just not cutting it. Although a part of me would have preferred to stay with a FF camera, the feature set, for my work, of the D500 was just too tempting so that was my decision. I feel that the D500 is the little brother to the D5, inheriting some of the D5's most important features. At it's current price, it is a steal. The D810 is an awesome camera, just not suited to sports action. The D5 is just, well, sweet, but I didn't want to purchase a second one! Best of luck.

What type of subjects do you shoot more often? The D500 has a crop sensor meaning the lenses you are using now with your D7000 will fit just right. Buying the D750 only means that you will be better served using only FX lenses, I guess a new investment in lenses for you.
If you shoot action and wildlife more often the D500 is your camera. The D750 does better for portraits with a portrait lens although the bokeh of the D500 with a portrait lens is not bad at all and I say that because I also have a D7000 like yours and our cameras like the D500 have a crop sensor. No issues for me using the crop sensor with a portrait lens.
Both cameras will do with the good assortment of lenses avilable a very good job at landscape photography. The D750, I have no experience with it, could be slightly better handling noise.
If your D7000 is not doing the job or if you simply have been influenced by GAS then you can make the right decision having both cameras in your hands and looking closely at their ergonomics and features. If one of them has the features you need in your photography that the D7000 is not fulfilling then you need a new body.
