My D500 never gets used now, unless I have a sudden impulse to test it reassure myself the D850 is a 'better' camera.

I've always been a one camera person, only hanging onto an alternative while I make up my mind which one I prefer to use. 

By 'prefer', that invariably relates to handling of the camera just as much as the images it takes. I hung onto my D3 for many years because it just felt right and delivered faultlessly at 12mp. I had the D300 at the same time and sold it, despite it being an exceptionally good camera....because the D3 all round worked best.

Let's face it, most of today's DSLRs are more than adequate for our needs .....because it's getting the lighting, framing and your preparedness right,  that capture the image. 

If the lighting is poor, switching to a camera that has minor ISO advantage is never going to satisfy. It's the light that's wrong....change it or if outdoors choose another day.
