Lens suggestion? 2 simultaneous events

Hi,
My job requires that I leave for Switzerland, France and Italy for 4 months. I want to bring my new D800 with some lenses but I hesitate amongst the ones I have.
During that period, my dauthter will have a photography class at ther college. She will use my venerable D200. I learned about it only after having sold my DX lenses (except my 10.5mm fisheye).
I have the following lenses:
10.5mm Nikon fisheye
14 mm f/2.8 Samyang chipped for Nikon (manual AF)
16-35f/4 VRII
24-120 f/4 VRII
50 mm f/1.4 Sigma
70-200 f/2.8 VRII
150 mm f/2.8 macro Sigma
1.4X TC-II Nikon
I could buy one more if necessary.
I shoot landscapes + candid street scenes
She will shoot unknown topics (depends on what her professor asks for).
Here is my first idea:
D800 with 10.5, 16-35, 24-120, 70-200, 1.4XTC
D200 with 14, 50, 150
Consequences of my choice:
I have no fast lens, the 70-200 with 1.4X is heavy
she will experiment in a superb context: manual and automatic focus, very large aperture (1.4), macro. She will have 3 sharp and fast lenses, but she will have no zoom (less flexibility for composition).
Do you have better suggestion, including buying one new lens ?
Thanks
