The D6XX was superior to the D700 in every regard except supposedly AF. The D750 is supposed to focus better in low light than any Nikon dslr so far. What would replace the D700 for you?
Got a tip for us?

I see that you are new in this area. This has been discussed ad nauseam in every photography forum.
Do you have a link at least?
There was no consensus in those discussions and the main critique was the af system. the d750 solves that.
The main critique of the D8xx is that you can do 8fps with the D700.
I think there might be other things missing in the D750 wrt D700, I will not bother to look.
I started this thread so I'll jump in here and say I have no idea what cube is talking about other than some people seem to be fixated on what is, or was, deemed to be a "pro-build" while ignoring performance and image quality.
It's time to move on from the D700.
Hmmm...you're talking about 8 fps vs. 6.5 fps (D750) at, for example, a shutter speed of 1/1000 sec. you're concerned about missing 1/1500 of a sec. I'm not sure I would share that concern.
Even if I did not care so that I would look further, I think some people are complaining about other things at dpreview.
I don't even know if it has a focus motor, if it lacks it it would be a total killer like for D6xx and anything below D7xxx.
Believe me...it does have a focus motor and this is just a suggestion: forget what other people are saying at sites like dpreview...go with your experience and what you know.
1. dpreview is barely a serious forum. those are pixelpeepers that always complain about something
2. the D6XX has a focus motor
I am getting the impression that you do not know what you are talking about.
I'm not even looking at the rest, I'm holding on until 8fps.
Japanese laws might be to blame.

I looked a bit out of curiosity when D600 was coming out, and it showed as without motor. I never bothered to look at this series again, as I am not interested in downgrading.
Since your only concern is fps everything at the moment is a downgrade.
I don't think many people have high fps as the only relevant quality for a dslr.
Just get it over with and get a 1dx.
I am not going to spend that kind of money on a brick that cannot be split in two.
Just to clarify...
The focus motor in current DSLR's is in the lens not the body. This means they will not drive older lenses that relied on a motor in the body. Current camera bodies will autofocus current lenses.
Again, it's time to move on to the technology of today.
No, that is in Canon. In Nikon, only the lower end of current DSLRs don't have a motor in the body.
Having a motor in the body allows autofocus with older lenses.
Nikon is better for backward compatibility.
You are wrong. My D610 and your D600 have a built in af screw that drives the old lenses af.
I have a couple of old lenses and the built-in autofocus motor inside my D610 drives them!
Be carefull though, since af override does not work with these lenses and trying to manually focus while the body is trying focus might strip the screw inside your D600.

This is correct.
All nikon full frame dslrs (D6xx, D8xx, df, D4s, ...) have a built in motor inside the body to drive the older lenses af.
I stand corrected.
My point is that if you want the best in terms of performance and therefore image quality, it's time to move on.Consumers want the best. I would argue that, at this price point, Nikon has delivered.
I agree.I stand corrected.

Like mentioned before, they give almost too many options now. People will have a terrible time choosing I will just stick to my D610 for as long as possible and buy better glass in the future, since neither the D750 nor the D810 would make any difference for me.
