Nikon d700 don't go for 2000 anymore and plus it's really hard to find a brand new one these days. On the used market you can easily score one for 1000 - 1300 bucks with a low shutter count under 10k and you could put that extra 1000 bucks on a nice price of glass. Bodies go down in price but glass usually maintains it value, you only take about 10% hit when selling the glass while the bodies you just lost your investment when they release a new bodies

I agree, whatever you decide, you'll be happy with decision.
If you decide to buy extra lenses in the future, go with full frame lenses.

To keep cost down, you can always get a D7100, but it's DX
