You know, a full stop or stop and a half really shouldn't be that tricky - the D800 and D7000 have a similar pixel pitch (4.88 vs 4.78), but the D800 has more than double the high ISO performance. If they changed nothing else and charged $500 more than the D7000, my credit card would be out of my pocket already.
