D700 could get cheaper, as its at end of lifecycle,
well if you believe the D700s (12mp HD) & D700x (24mp) rumours floating around.
If I were picking I'd choose D700 over Sony Platform choice. If you fall out of love with D700 , it will retain better resale value over a Sony Full Frame. I own a D700 & its a fine camera. I added it to my fairly complete Canon 5D System which inturn was added to my Pentax Digital system. D700 is Quite well built and you can use all those 1977 Ai era lenses on it. You can input up to 9 old nikon lenses into the camera for full metadata. You change the aperture and its automatically changes in the camera's viewfinder as if there was an electrical connection. Neat design, quite handy.
I'm on the edge of deleting my Pentax gear selections too, not cause of a lack of full frame in near future but because it all never goes on trips with us. Seems pointless to keep it to just leave it behind. Three brands I have inhand is really one brand too many. My money invested in K Mount would serve me better elsewhere. Had Pentax offered a full frame last year I wouldn't have bought two Canon 5D. So I get where you're coming from. Full Frame Dslrs with biggie size viewfinders are a pleasure to shoot ultrawide & fast aperture glass with.
