My main reasons for buying a D600 would be image quality in a lighter body. FX sensors have traditionally meant better IQ than their corresponding DX models. So does the D600 produce better images than the D5200, D7100 or whater its DX equivalent is?
There is a quality advantage with larger pixels, how much, I don't know. The downside to all the high pixel sensors is defraction. On the D600 this comes into play at f8 and above so a minimum f6.3 should be used.
The other thing that comes up is that some older FX lenses don't have enough resolution for the sensor. Nikon has a list of the recommended lenses for the D600 & D800. Also minor camera shake during the high speed scan of the sensor will cause blur so that the old rule of 1/mm of the lens for minimum shutter speed is no longer valid, might be with VR on.
