"800 as DX crop or not"

I bought a D7000 as a backup to my D700 and plan to trade that in on an 800. I appreciate the longer reach with the DX crop but am curious if I would get a better image using the 800 full frame and cropping on the computer or putting the 800 into DX (1.5) mode in the field as I am shooting. If the image would be essentially the same in both cases, wouldn;t using the 800 in DX mode in the filed at least help me focus a bit better? Is that a logical assumption?
Thanks for any input.
Best,
Dennis
