Better improved pixel vs more pixels?

True and (since no current DSLR has 45MP) most people who need that will turn to Medium format.
Also most people don't really need the 36MP of the D800/e but if you shoot with those MP you can do a LOT with image. The D800/e has the most versatile files I've ever worked with and reducing down the size can make high ISO performance VERY good.
That said, I switched to 18MP and I'm not missing the extra resolution much apart from how cool it is to be able to zoom in like crazy (example attached).
Normal:
100% crop:
400iso on the D800e (70-200 2.8... I think perhaps I had a x1.7 extender on it, I can't remember).
