Oh damn, I was loving your 600PF photos but the 180-600mm looks excellent too. So you found the 600PF to be too similar to the 180-600mm and think the extra reach of the 800mm is worthwhile? The 600PF looks so perfect as far as size/weight go but for the money it is awfully close to the 800 and getting up into used 600F4 ranges. There are too many good choices right now with Nikon but I think starting with the 180-600mm is my best bet and then deciding from there. If I like the system enough I may sell my Canon gear and go all in with a Z8 + 600TC.
I think the zoom is close enough in quality , that I can live with the extra weight and size. Do I regret sending it back , as soon as I closed the box I regretted it. It really is quite a bit easier to handle.
I will likely complain about the size/weight of the 800 , but the plan is to use it for dedicated outings , not my usual birding while walking two crazy dogs. It probably won't get nearly as much use as the zoom , I don't venture out often. I don't have the free time typically during the hours I would prefer to shoot, except on the weekends.
