Ever since I bought the D7100, I have been questioning my decision as to whether I should have gotten the D750 instead. Having upgrading from the D5000, I missed the articulating screen; but, other than that I was very happy with the improvements in operating the camera...no more searching menus but using buttons instead. One thing that has stopped me from going full-frame is the increased cost of lenses, plus the extra weight involved in carrying both camera & lenses. Also, I don't NEED full frame.
Well, now Nikon has come out with the D500 & after reading an article by Bob Vishneski , I am wondering if this would be the way to go. My main reason to upgrade would be for less noise at a high ISO. His article compares photos taken with the D500 & the D810 at ISO 6400.
I recently tried to take pictures in church of my granddaughter's Confirmation. The church was poorly lit and even at ISO 5000, the pictures of the Bishop and my granddaughter were mostly unusable. Still, a picture is better than NO picture. I tried various settings with no luck in achieving good results.
I know that Nikon is positioning the D500 as a sports and wildlife camera, because of the increased frame rate and buffer; but if it would solve the dark interior dilemma, it would be worth the leap.
BTW, I have read other threads on this forum about upgrading from a D7000 & up. Any advice would be appreciated.

You have basically eliminated the D750 from consideration by your own criteria. That only leaves one camera of the two you mentioned. Easy choice.
