nikon 800mm decision

I shoot Nikon and the only Canon I have is an S95 point and shoot, but given the huge price of the new Nikon 800 f/5.6 and given the quality of Canon's superb 800 f/5.6 USM IS, I would consider purchasing the Canon 5D MKIII and the 800 f/5.6 and still be a couple of thousand or so cheaper than the Nikon lens. I love my D800 but the 5D MKIII is no slouch and I could get to know it mounted on that one lens. One might also consider a new leftover Canon 5D MKII for an even greater savings. The Canon 7D might be a good choice for people wanting crop factor up front but a good body.
