Those prices look OK. 
UK prices are.... 
Df + 50mm f1.8 AFS = £2750 (the 50mm f1.8 AFS = £150) so body only £2600
D4 = £4225
D800 = £1960
D800E  =£2330
Oh No, am I tempting myself by doing this?

What is up with UK prices?
The Df is £640 more expensive than the D800 and £270 more than the D800E in UK.

Then factor in the exchange rate GBP£1=CDN$1.74  or  GBP£1=USD$1.63   and the RipOff GB flag starts flying......



Except, the Df is at launch price and the D800 is 9months down cost curve. The D800 was £2400ish at launch....which is a fairer comparison....but still too expensive.
