There might be some terrific Black Friday sales, and often the closer it gets to Christmas, deals start showing up. You might not need to wait as long as you think to pick up a D810.
YEA!!!

Flash changes the mood of the environment, even if you bounce light. Flash ruins the idea of shooting available light.
I disagree, Flash is just another light you have available to you.

I think you would be very happy with the D810. But if you already have a 24-70 why would you need to buy a new 50? Isn't 50 represented with the 24-70? Or are you just wanting a 50mm for a prime lens?

I like having the prime 50 even though the zoom covers it. The 1.8 comes in handy for birthday cakes and Xmas trees etc

Thanks. I was just curious.

Don't forget the D800 used. Some can be found that are still like new for substantially less than a new D850. Look used cameras over carefully. There are gems, but some were used as work horses.
I use the D800 as my primary camera, but I find an old D300 works just fine indoors with available light. If you make prints no larger than 8 X 10 you should be able to do "some" cropping.
As has already been said, if your 7200 has a problem with available light, just up the ASA/ISO to what ever proves to work. Unlike faster films, I've never noticed a degradation when going faster with digital, although I've not gone to extremes.
Having said that, the full frame sensors will let you do a lot of cropping, but those cameras are noticeably heavier than those with DX sensors. When on the road, or storm chasing I use the DX format only because it weighs less.
For me, weight is a problem as I've been relegated to one hand shooting and the D800 gets heavier quickly.

Thank you for the input - I don't feel the weight will be an issue at this point and hopefully by that time nikon will have come out with a good FF mirrorless that can use these lenses.

Nikon's proposed mirrorless camera's will not except the current Nikon DSLR lenses. An adapter will have to be used, if someone makes one for it.

I agree with the above. I have a D7100 and a D750 and the size, layout_weight are almost identical. Unless you are shooting murals or semi truck ads the D750 would fit your needs at a much lower cost.
