Some clients occasionally ask me what I shoot with. To be honest, its a silly question. If they like the photos it shouldn't matter, even if I shoot with something super crappy like a Sony or Canon. :P. But how many would even know what the upper end models are, or what advantages they really have? I bet there are lots of uneducated clients who see the "newest and greatest" release such as the D3400 and think it must be one of the best cameras. Years ago I think I lost a potential bride because I told her my Nikon's only shot one file size when shooting raw files. She was familiar with Canon and sRaw (which I was not familiar with at the time).
While a lot of wedding photographers may use the D750 (and I have one as well), I still prefer the pro style bodies for many reasons. I've been using two D4s (not the D4S) for a years now. I think both are great values especially used. I'd love to try the D5 and I hope to upgrade someday, but I'll wait till my D4 bites the dust or the D5 comes down in price.
From the ergonomics, the buffer, it doesn't have problems with triggers such as the profoto air, file sizes, and most importantly....I still think the files/photos just look better from the D4 most cases. The original question from OP is the price jump from the D4s to the D5 worth it. That just depends on how much a couple of grand is worth to you.
