I recently upgraded from D7000 with the 17-55 to the D800 with the 24-70/2.8. Since you also mention weight as a consideration in your gear choices, make sure you think about the added weight of this combination. It's a noticeable increase from my DX setup. I like it when I am shooting. But I definitely notice the added heft when toting this gear in my camera bag. It doesn't really feel like an ideal walk-around combo to me.

I have checked the weights, and I think it would add about a pound to my camera bag - a fairly small proportion of the total.  But that’s why I would keep my other DX lenses rather than aiming to convert fully to FX.
