2) At ISO 1600 there is very little difference

My overall impression is that there is some truth in DXO's ISO number, but only after ISO 3200. In real life shooting, A99 is close enough to D600 (or any other top FF camera) up to until ISO 3200, after that you need to have good NR software. Therefore setting auto ISO limit to 3200 seems to be a good idea.

I only looked briefly at the 1600 image, but in the text that goes on the bottle reading, "Product of Scot . . ." I thought that D600 looked noticeably sharper (actually, I don't even think a case could be made that the A99 is competing well -- "DUCT" is just bad on the A99). I could easily see this text being similar to eyelashes on a person and the D600 appears to retain this definition where it is lost on the A99.

Maybe it's my old eyes but I'm seeing exactly the opposite! Are you looking at it with the 1:1 view? Look at the smaller print four lines above, "BLENDED SCOTCH WHISKEY"... the circular openings in the letter "B" is nearly a solid mass with the D600, where with the a99 it is more clearly defined.
