I swear i had my mind set on picking up the nikon dslr 7500 then i stopped at Best Buy and the guy suggested the d750. Its a huge cost difference...what does everyone else think?
I think that adding a FF camera is not so much an upgrade as it is getting a different tool for different applications. I have both but am coming around to employing my mid level crop for some long zoom shots especially when the FF will require cropping. PS, my crop has 24mp which seems to be plenty.

I find a lot of people offering you advice on buying this camera or that without giving you are realistic advice. First of all, price. Full frame cameras (Nikon D850, D810) and their proper lenses cost a lot more money. And that is fine if you can afford the camera and associated lenses. I have owned top of the line cameras from Nikon and Canon over the years, presently using the Nikon D810 which you can get a good deal on right now. Secondly, speed is something you want to have with birding, especially if you want to catch and track them in flight as in the case of sequence photos with motor drive. In this case the Nikon D500 or D7500 would be the better choices. Especially the D500. And both cost less than a Nikon D850 or D810 body. The Nikon D750 is good but can't compete in speed with the likes of the D500. Also quality lenses are usually cheaper with these cameras.
So first determine your budget, the camera cost and then the lenses cost. Then make your decision.

I passed on the D7500, and went for the D750. I liked the nigher MP count, dual card slots, and longer battery life, of the D750.

A used / refurbished D750 can be had for about the same cost as a new D7500. The D7500 is a Crop Frame Camera, while the D750 is a Full Frame Camera. That was another thing which sold me on the D750. I wanted a Full Frame camera, when I bought the D750. I already had a great Crop Frame camera in my D7200.

I picked up a few DX lenses when I first got into the DSLR arena, with my Nikon D3300. Later on, I got a Nikon D7200, and started buying FX lenses...even though the D7200 is as much a Crop Frame camera as my D3300. I figured I'd end up buying a Full Frame camera, eventually, so I wanted to have lenses which could work well on both it, and my Crop Frame cameras. By the time I got my Full Frame camera-a Nikon D750-I had seven Full Frame lenses in my stable. Three were zooms, and four were Primes. I can use the same lenses, and batteries, and speedlights, on both my D7200, and my D750. I only buy Full Frame lenses now, as I have done for a few years now. I can use my FF lenses on whatever Crop Frame, or Full Frame, cameras I may buy in the future....though I should not need to buy any new cameras for awhile. By the time I do need a new camera, 8K video, at 240fps, will probably be the latest thing. I will still want dual card slots, though they will probably not be SD cards by then. By then, there may even be Medium Format sized sensors-6x4.5cm, or 6x7cm-at affordable prices. I'd like that. I will not be in the market for any APS-C cameras with only one card slot....then, or now. So, neither the D7500, or anything like it, will be on my shopping lists. My pld D3300, and the few DX lenses I have for it, I keep around, to use in training my friends / family on. I loan the D3300, and the DX lenses, out to folks who want to see what using a DSLR is like. If they enjoy the experience, I let them use the D7200, and D750, a bit-in my presence-and see how they like that. My Full Frame gear, with D7200 backup body, is my goto kit these days, and will remain so for some time yet. I have never regretted purchasing the D7200, or the D750, or any of the FF lenses. You can't go wrong with such items...unless you are a snapshooter who is going to soon give up on photography.

Good plan and wise to purchase the fx lenses. With them you always have the best of both worlds.

note: The D-500 does not have dual SD Card slots...it has a XQD slot and a SD card slot
