rather than spending time to browse my posting history, just answer my valid question. what can the D800 give me that the D800E can't? don't tell me the $500 savings as the reason because that's not an equipment advantage.

It will give you a bigger CF card, which you will buy with the $200 you save vs d800e. Good enough? Oh and that moire thing, which is not really an issue in either case.

Done? End of story? Or should we keep trolling?

no. what you are giving me is a small financial advantage. i'm not even asking you the advantage of D800 over D800E. all i'm asking is...what can the D800 (built-in to the equipment) give me that the D800E can't? is my question hard to understand?

D800 equipment can give you a weak low-pass filter vs no filter.
