Used Hasselblad H3D-39, SLR Digital Camera 70360530 B&H Photo

That'd be nice but rather have 35mm for speed.

Here are my two options:

Refurbed D4 for 5k plus 70-200vrii f2.8, 16-35 f4, 50 f1.8d

D800E 70-200vrii, 24-70, grip, extra battery, used afs 300 f2.8 plus a TC maybe

Go with the first one.

lol, just when I had it all figured out

I say go with the D4 because you can seriously focus it wherever you want, blindfolded, and it'll be dead-nuts on. Even though the D800 might share the same module, it doesn't feel as fast, and in my experience, it's not as reliable.

on a D4, in AF-C, with 9pt dynamic turned on, it's infallible. I shot part of a job where the best I could come up with was 1/40th, f/2.8, at ISO 25,600, and not only was the focus spot-on, but I was able to deliver the pictures too. A D800 can't do that.
