Which one will be your pick? Additional post process to remove the color moiré? or direct ready to use image.
I believe the price between this two camera won't affect people who have the intention of getting it.
I go AA. I am a people photographer I don't like critical sharpness on skin and moire on clothes. Extra post process work to do the files is also not preferred.
For landscape, bird, nature, macro shooters, obviously non AA and make full use of it!

Or too many pros too, for that matter. Although I know some top photographers pay to have them removed.

"The inherent file size can require some unusual treatment. The large capture can make the camera sensitive to vibration more than smaller cameras, requiring faster shutter speeds or a tripod. Even in the studio with flash, I used a tripod on shots done with a 200mm F/2 lens."
I already saw a major difference in sharpness and details between the Nikon 24-120 and the Zeiss Planar 50 on the D 700. Difference was even bigger on the Ricoh A12M . So, im am sure I need high res lenses to use the sensor to its full potential. But of course, this can only be seen on a high quality print out.
The moire may not be such a big issue after all.
Check the image of the kimono girl (sample 3) in the D800E samples. The fabric shows no moire at all.

The D800E is aimed at the Medium Format users. Most digital Hasselblad and Mamiya cameras/backs do not have AA filters.
these fotos were processed with NX2, i would think that in order to get the best out of the RAW files, the Nikon Capture NX2 is a must.
more $$$$.
