More D600 vs. D700 dynamic range in the shadows

I have done that already in my first response in the thread. But I will sum it up again if you like.

1. Base iso for both (D600 iso 100, D700 iso 200).
2. Same light, same shutter speed, same aperture (so same light reaching the sensor).
   
3. Exposure for both based on D700 highlights (not clipped).
4. Adjust in LR linearly (with the exposure slider) the brightness of the darker D600 image to much D700 brightness.
5. Compare the shadows.
6. Optional step :). Provide the raw files for others to examine them and process them.
   

As I said earlier I already know that with D600 I can always collect double the light if I choose its lower iso setting, relative to D700, and half the shutter speed. I was more interested to see how they compare in a different scenario when the light is the same. Imagine the cameras handheld in the room in the OP.
