There is a lot of glass potential still "left on the table" with larger sensors and the D800 is just the beginning of extracting it.

Is it not more correct to say that there is glass potential left on the table with lower pixel density sensors rather than larger sensors? I do not understand your point otherwise. Surely a 16mp APS-C sensor leaves the same amount on the table as the D800 when compared to the D5200?
