I'm not sure about the 800E now, might just go for the 800. I think I will also keep my D7000 - the 800 for high res wide angle shots using the FX capabilities with wide angle lenses and the 7000 for long zoom lenses for wildlife etc to take advantage of the 1.5x crop factor (also keeps the weight down).
As for the removal of the anti-aliasing filter on 800E, I'm not sure whether this means that moiré will be seen in ordinary outdoor shots where you don't have much control:
"This is an ideal tool for photographers who can control light, distance and their subjects to the degree where they can mitigate the occurrence of moiré. Aside from the optical filter, all functions and features are the same as on the D800."
I like the sound of the noise reduction system, but time will tell what it's really like. It could be just marketing, although the noise reduction on the D7000 that I have is very very good.
"The D800/D800E set a new benchmark for high-resolution D-SLR cThe D800/D800E set a new benchmark for high-resolution D-SLR cameras, with crisp clean images across a wide ISO range........
....Even at high ISO settings, the camera's intelligent noise reduction systems manage noise without sacrificing fine details, giving the D800/D800E the edge."
