You will probably not gain any experience, knowledge, or technical skill.
You will not gain sharpness, that is, if your skill is at least good enough to take a sharp image. The Z9 will not make you a better photographer than you already are.
You will gain 10 to 13 frames per second if that matters to you.
You will not have to FINE TUNE any more lenses, if you ever did.
You will be able to, with the Nikon adapter, use your current Nikon lenses.
For me, the biggest advantage is that I can see exactly what my image looks like (exposure wise) before I take the shot.
You will gain little in the way of assigning buttons for various functions so you can keep your eye on the subject, but if you do not assign camera functions to your buttons you will not gain much.
You will gain a drain in your savings.
You will gain silence with your new shutter, you know how noisy your D800 is, your D500 is not that much quieter. So you won't scare as many birds or grandchildren when you trip your shutter.
You gain a vertical grip and shutter button, you will not have to buy a separate vertical grip.
You will gain a very sturdy platform to mount your long telephoto lenses, you will gain balance with your long lenses.
If non of these things matter to you then I guess you have answered your own question.
You will probably not gain any experience, knowled... (show quote)

I’ve got Oly ‘em-5(s) and Nikon D850, 700’s and have had the history of digital cameras, from Coolpix 5000.
The olys are terrific cameras and I hate using them. I need reading glasses and smaller fingers to operate them. I cannot remember what each Fn button does, the cameras are always accidentally changing something, unless the batteries are dead, which seems too often.
None of these things are the cameras’ fault, I’m too accustomed to a Nikon DSLR layout, I know where everything is and it is clearly labeled. I see little difference in 13x19 prints I do between FF and MFT, yet I swear my Nikon FF prints are somehow more impactful, could be subject matter too.
There’s no getting around that WYSIWYG is a terrific benefit.
Sooooo, there’s that
