Depends on how you define 'consumer grade' I guess. the D800 is the best low-light,
moving subject capture machine I've ever used (although I'm sure the D4/D5 and maybe Canon top-end match or beat it -
and hopefully the K1! )
Low-light, moving subject photography can accidentally be done well with a high-FPS, spray & pray approach, but IMO that's just imprecise enough to suck the joy out of it, because it can't be depended on to get the
one frame in the series you really wanted - and when it (rarely) is, then it didn't depend on any skill from you.
The best accurate, fast, low-light AF right now seems to be in the FF bodies, D800-level and up. It's a pleasure to
see, and in that precise instant,
capture . Makes the craft fun and your seeing/reaction skills are rewarded sans an AF hunt-hunt-miss frustration.

What happens with people's aps-c bodies will depend, in a large part,
on how good that K1 really is.
If it's as good as I think it could be, the reasons people find to keep two DSLR bodies will fade away, and it will be harder & harder to pick up the aps-c body again.

For all lenses, the maximum sharpness is in the center, and that's also why you still get good images with 1" sensors have a resolution pixels/mm way above the resolution of an APSC or 24x36 sensor. Where you had until now a decent edge to edge sharpness with your APSC camera, when pixel peeping , you'll see that your full frame images do not look as sharp, unless you buy yourself new larger heavier FF lenses and stop them down 2 stops to get sharp edges.[COLOR=Silver]
The edges that are
cropped off in an smaller-sensored image can't be counted against a larger sensor
This ^ has been debunked for years on dpreview - 'better edges' is not a good reason to go with a smaller sensor if IQ is really a priority.
For instance, to stay with your your 1'' example - the image from that 1'' sensor will have more conformity from center-edge, but the overall image taken with almost any lens on aps-c with the same angle of view would be much more pleasing, unless the lens on that 1'' camer is almost supernatural - even if there's a larger drop-off in MTF out to the edge in the aps-c image.
Same concept applies up one tier. Don't, I repeat, don't *not* buy a larger sensor because of 'the edges'.
