Any pro using D3200 as primary studio-portrait body?

With the D3200 having a very nice sensor and the D3200+18-55VR Kit currently selling below EUR 500, I'm giving it a try as my primary studio/portrait body (probably with a 24-120/4VRII). After 1yr I probably can still sell the kit for EUR 200, which makes it extremely cheap and interesting.
Any other pro photographer doing the same?
The only drawbacks I can imagine are:
* customer perception - OK, but I've got all the pro stuff in my studio anyway
* build/reliability - studio use isn't this demanding and I still got a pro body as backup
* shutter-life - might be a problem, but with 5k shots/month I expect it to last >1 yr
* small/dim viewfinder, 1/200 xsync - I can live with that
* no display on top - in the studio I only change aperture anyway
* M-Mode aperture-change needs button+dial - a bit annoying
(I normally program my cams to have aperture on the rear wheel anyway)
* small/light body - seems not a drawback, more like boon
I always preferred the lighter D700 vs. the D3
I probably will skip the very limited WU-1a and use my EyeFi+Shuttersnitch for customer picture-discussions (same as with my D800).
Feedback welcome,
Andi
