I would compare sharpness and noise at higher ISO. The difference Ayla higher iso's (3200 and up) is where I really notice the difference between my D8xx bodies and the D7xxx bodies. I don't have a D500 so I can't say in regards to that, but according to what I have been reading the D500 is only slightly better then the D7200 at high ISO.
The lenses can be a wash, though overall there seems to be more very good lenses available for FX, as Compared to the DX. But that's not to say there are not good lenses for DX, there is.
So for me, the choice would come down more towards high ISO performance then lenses available. Maybe rent a D500 and shoot it side by side with the D800. Use the same lens on both cameras and just see for yourself how they both compare at high ISO. Just guessing at this point, but I would think the noise and sharpness would be better with the D800, but it would be interesting to see.
