Agree with most of this except for the better features and bodies. Might have been the case in the past, but at the very least they are equal now and it comes down to personal preference which you prefer. Live view for instance is vastly better in Canon bodies than Nikon. Personally I get uncomfortable every time I hold a Nikon body, none of the buttons and switches are intuitive to me. Similar to picking up a blackberry after 3 years with an iPhone (and I used a BB for over 2yrs as well).
If you compare a 6D to D600 for features or a 5D3 to D800, the nikon bodies are more feature rich for the price. The fact that canon still are heavily outselling the D800 with the 5D3 shows just how clever their realisation is that the price and megapixels difference is still not enough to afford a system switch and that the 5D3 is enough for the majority.
