I was under the impression the D800 has the same general build as the D300.  I personally have not held the D800 yet, hope to get some time on my friends this holiday.

The D800 has the same full magnesium body as the D200/D300, so I'm not sure what you are saying there.  Having owned both the D200 and D300, I can say I personally feel the build quality is better on the D300 then the D200.  But, I like the feel of the rubber grip on the D200, it is softer, more substantial.   The down side is the grip has begun to peal back a few places.  I suspect they made the change with the D300 to hold up better.
