I had a D750 and I really liked the colors it rendered, especially with full frame lenses like the 24mm-120mm f4 and the 85mm f1. prime. It also pairs really well with the Macro 105mm lens. In many respects, it's the full frame big brother of the D7200. My biggest complaint about this camera was the lack of speed, so shooting birds in flight or other fast action was frustrating, for me. I ended up selling mine because I wasn't using it much since I moved to mirrorless, and I wanted to give it a good home.

Thanks for your response. I own a Tokina F4 12-28 WA Zoom, a 60mm Micro Nikkor and a 105mm Micro Nikkor. These are my primary lenses. The WA zoom I use for landscape photography and the macro lenses for my close up Mineral photography. If I move forward with this purchase I will retire the D7000, but still use the D7200 in the field. The new body is to hopefully improve some of my close up image photography.
If you're looking to do close up, you might want to consider the D780 or D850, which help to automate focus stacking for close up, while I believe the D750 does not.

This is a terrific camera if you have compatible lenses. I regret that I sold mine with several lenses. It handles well and has a pop up flash (in an emergency). If you have to buy some used lenses then the investment might not be worth it.

The Tokina lens is a DX lens, so you won't utilize the full 24MP of the full frame sensor. This lens is designed specifically to use all the pixels of your two DX bodies.
The macro lenses will lose the crop factor of the DX sensors. You might want to rent a D750 body, or any full-frame Nikon body, and quickly and more cheaply confirm this idea is not the solution you're planning.
