To be very honest here, I'd rather save and get the best, rather than to get something else, in which after that I'd have to spend money again to upgrade to the best. A friend once told me, get the best, so you can focus on improving your photography and not focus on GAS.
That's just my opinions, please correct me if you feel that I'm wrong
There is a serious short coming in this approach - the camera body is but one part of the imaging equation. Saving for the best camera body means no money to spend on the next most important part - the lens. And body depreciates much faster, lenses hold value well. And the best camera body today in 1-2 years' time will become the second best or worse.
My approach has been - get the best camera body that will meet my needs, and put the savings from not buying the best body into better (or even best) lenses.
If I were you, I would drop to D610 and use the difference to buy a good lens, the one better than what you have planned for, or get a second good lens.
For example, instead of D800 + 24-85VR, get D610 + 24-70/2.8, or D610 + 24-85VR + 70-200/4VR.
