The answer to your question is NO. The Nikon sensor has 14% more pixels and a better dynamic 14.6 V 11.9. Put simply you will have a lot more detail in the highlights and shadows of your images. And I owned and used a 5D11 until it's death.

Dennis, what was the cause of the 'death' of your 5DII?

Have the opportunity to purchase one of 2 cameras.

Nikon D7200 in like new condition with 840 shots. Body, battery and charger only = $750
DX FORMAT 24MP

Canon 5D MKII in like new condition with under 1200 shots. Body, battery, charger, brand new speed light, remote, 64GB compact flash, cables and instructions. = $780
FULL FRAME FORMAT 21MP

I have never owned a Canon so I know nothing of the Canon brand. If there were both close to the same age this would not even be an issue.
My question is, is the Canon full frame worth it over the DX even though it is 8 years older?

Absolutely ! the Canon I believe will give you better quality owing to its full-frame. I shoot with one and have no complaints.

The motherboard failed. After the repair every setting was back to default and the frame counter was back at 0. Second hand buyers beware!

As already pointed out the OP is looking at the 5D MII, not the 5D MIII.
