I stopped comparing my photography to other photographers', and it was the best thing I've done for my photography. I learn from other photographers, and from other photographs, but I don't judge myself in relation to them.
Regarding the gear, it can be tempting to want to pick up the latest and greatest, but I often find it's best to take a step back and think about some things. Several years ago, a 5DII was about the best you could get for landscapes. I still use it to this day. Many professional landscape photographers used that camera, and made a living off that camera. The camera has not gotten any worse. It's as capable a camera today as it was several years ago when many pros were using it. You have in your hands a very capable camera, one capable of taking amazing photographs. Mine is older, but I'm still able to take stunning landscapes with it.
Focus on what your camera can do. It's one of the best cameras on the market right now. Sure, there's a sensor which is better for landscapes, but you still have one of the best. Guess what? Even if you buy a D810 or A7, at some point, something new will come along that will outperform those. If you keep getting green with envy because other photographers have a tool that is newer and better, you're going to be spending lots of money.
I highly recommend focusing on what you can do with you gear, focusing on improving your techniques, and forgetting about what you can't do with your gear. More emphasis and belief in your own abilities can makes things possible that don't seem so when you worry about what you cannot do.
Whatever you do, good luck, and I hope your choice leads you to photographic happiness!
