I don’t pay attention to what charts say. Nor do I shoot brick walls looking for distortion. The only thing I care about is my personal experience from the photos I produce with my gear. Just out of curiosity, have you ever actually shot with a D7200 or are you kneeling before the DxO chart prepared by a lab geek?
Sorry to be seemingly harsh, but MY eye is the only thing that influences me.

I have both a D7200 and a D500. I do find the D500 better at hi ISO, but only marginally.

You don't need the expense of a Nikon D7200 when the Nikon D7100 will do the same for a lot less money, as The Angry Photographer shows on YouTube. I use the D800 myself, every bit as good as the D850 except for some upgrades, but at a much more decent price with less the moire.
What a ridiculous statement. Just about any camera is every bit as good as it’s predecessor “except for some upgrades”. Those upgrades being 45.4 mp to 36.2 mp, 4K video over 1080, about 2.5 times the resolution on the LCD, which is a tilting touchscreen on the D850, not on the D800, 9 FPS to 4 FPS, usable ISO 64-25600 over 100-6400, plus a completely new and much improved focusing system. It’s 5 years of technology advances.

True, DOF could be shallow at 1.8..but, it all depends on distance. At 35mm and 1.8 you get about 3.75 feet sharp at 10 feet. So it really depends on that he's looking for. The 18-140 will have drawbacks too. At 18mm and 3.5 he'll get about 20 feet sharp.

or purchase a “FF” lens and ‘up’ the ISO setting. The reason for having a camera with good high ISO ranking is using it at higher ISO - I use my Pentax KP up there all the time. In fact, the guy I mentioned got his Z7 after he saw the photos I took with my KP.

My father owned a Minolta SRT-101 film camera. I met one person who owned an Asahi Pentax camera, during the time I use to borrow my father's camera. Pentax cameras are very good cameras. But, they were slow to adopt to the full frame family of cameras. Finally, they came out with the K-1.Same sensor as the Nikon D810. It was a bargain priced FF 36 megapixels DSLR, that had good reviews. I think there is a K-2 successor?

Sue your Tamron 35-150 is considered to be an excellent lens especially for full frame. Have you had a chance to try out Tamron’s the way new 17-35 that mates with the 35-150? i
No, although I've looked at it online but am currently saving for the Tamron 100-400 which has a decent reach for birding - I really miss the versatility of my old 18-400 but it has been handed down to my grandson who is loving it.

I rented a D7200 one for a week. I own two D500's. I have a Nikon 16-85mm on one of them and a Tamron 10-24mm on the other. I've been impressed with the dynamic range of the D500.
The D500 has 4.22 micron pixels while the D7200 has 3.92 micron pixels. That's not much difference but from what I have read it equates to almost twice the pixel well capacity.
Whether the DxO testing charts are prepared by lab geeks or not, they do accurate measurements there.

I own neither the D7200 or D500 but I am surprised if the D7200 which is older and has higher pixel density can have less noise than the D500.

There is an “improved” ‘mark ii’ - which has their preprocesser to improve graceful high ISO performance, but no K-2 yet, unfortunately.

I’ll bet he is. What’s not to love with an 18-400?

I know! If it was a FF lens I'd still have it.

That much “zoom” usually forces the designers into making performance-affecting compromises.

Have you looked into the 100-400 Tamron full frame?

I'm saving for one - should be able to get it in a couple months.

That's true but I found it to be very satisfactory as an all-purpose walk around lens.
