Just as Stone13 told you, you will not be satisfied with either the 5D3 or the D800 because you are lusting after MF quality. If you don't have the money then save up for it. It will cost you less in the long run. In the mean time be happy with the 5Dc.

You mean digital MF, right? What about DXO Mark rating D800 above Phase One? Any merit to that? Provided the best glass available for D800, of course, like Zeiss ZF.2 Macro-Planar 2/100 for example.
