The D7200 also has much lower read noise, which is where I think its increased dynamic range advantage at lower ISO comes from. The D700 unfortunately also doesn't share the same 1 stop dynamic range advantage over other Nikon APS-C sensors across the board as the more recent Nikon FF DSLRs (D600, D610, D750, D800, D810, etc).
The D700 has pixels with more than 4 times the area of the D7200 pixels. Unless Colin is taking short, heavily read noise limited subs, that's what matters when it comes to SNR.
