I think you will love the D500. It has all the features of D810 but with DX instead of FX and as you say no flash.
I dont find that an issue as I have a IR Commander unit from my D3/D3S that I can use.
One thing that is missing is the Highlight exposure mode for metering but the Auto and matrix seems to work very well.
I am looking forward to Photokina when I expect the D900 to be announced - in effect an FX version of the D500. I will be very happy then and say Bye, Bye to my D3S and D700 at that point.
I did a flamenco shoot yesterday with the D500, D800 and D3S. The D3S handles best as I shoot a lot in portrait mode so the extra release is very helpful.
I havent had time to check the images in detail but they look good.
I also used the 200-500 AFS VR instead of my 300mm f2.8 AFS for some of my shots as a comparator. I may need to release my old faithfuls 300mm f2.8 AFS and 400mm f2.8 AFS as well.
I need to assess fully before making rash decisions.
