Offered D800 for D600.

I have a large number of oil spots on my D600 sensor and the retailer has not got any D600's in stock to exchange. So I they have offered me a D800 at a discount that means I would need to pay £200 to change.

Now I am tempted but not sure I will get much more for my needs, if I am honest it's tempting me but I don't think I will really benefit from the extra features.

Is my assumption of the differences correct?

D800 benefits over D600

Extra MP but will only see the difference if cropping or printing over A2?
Better access to some user functions (top left dial)
More focus points ( unsure the real benefit)?
True vertical horizon in viewfinder
Adjust apeture in live view?

My benefits over D800

2xSD slots for easy use on iMac

24 megapixel will produce sharper images with less need for critical shutter speed etc.
Lighter and smaller, but not by much

I am not sure that £200 difference is a bargain in the UK?
