As good as the 24-70 is, you might want to consider other lenses with stabilisation if you ever intend to shoot hand-held in poor light and can't use f/2.8 because you need more DOF. The 24-120 f/4 VR is ok but not great optically, but scores well because of the extra versatility. Likewise, you might look at the Sigma 24-105 OS.
I've got a D810E and I love most of what it can do, but I also dislike that it can't do some things:
- crappy live view implementation barely usable (fixed in D810)
- unwanted mirror down/up when shooting even in live view (fixed in D810)
- not the best dynamic range at higher ISO (1600+) (NOT fixed in D810 - need D3s or D4s)
- bracketing steps no bigger than 1Ev (STILL not fixed in high-end Nikon cameras)
The D810 addresses some of what I don't like and adds a bit more, such as a revised AF operation (though still using the same AF hardware), faster frame rate, bigger buffer (needed even at low frame rate if you use enough noise reduction), etc. As far as I know it doesn't mess with things that I do like.
I'll be buying one soon.
