Guess you meant D5?
If I am not mistaken ordering the D5 with CF involves taking a big hit in the image saving speed department, to some extent nullifying the advantage of the D5 speed and capacity.
Bit like ordering a Ferrari with a Transit van engine...Yes D5. I would still order a D5 with CF slots unless I was certain that CFExpress was going to work and the price was going to fall. The cheapest XQD card is around £90 and I could live with the reduced shooting speed, I don't think I have ever used a D3 on continuous so why would I need 12 FPS from a D5.
Currently only Sony make XQD cards and only Nikon cameras use them making them expensive and difficult to obtain. It wouldn't be the first time a new storage medium has failed from lack of support. A Dual CF card D5 may be easier to sell than a Dual XQD.
The D4 with a CF card is still faster than a D3 so far from a Ferrari with a Transit engine.
