The big advantage to me is the much better high ISO performance. I actually like the extra reach I get from a DX sensor on my lenses, so that would be one disadvantage to moving up to FF. The D700 also has a built in pop up flash. Not very powerful, but works great as a "commander." This is the only FF model from Nikon that has a built in flash.
Also, many accessories for the D300, such as the battery grip, work on the D700. Besides, the D700 is about half the price of the next FF Nikon model (D3s). So you are looking at $1500 --> $2500 --> $5000 --> $7500 when going from D300s to D700 to D3s to D3x....

Damn...decisions. I am pretty much sold on the D300s but noisy low-light/night photos really bug the crap out of me. I have for the most part been able to remedy this through post processing software. Also, I plan do to some motorsport photography and I hear the D700 is horrible for sports photography as the shutter speeds can't keep up and get progressively slower once as you keep holding down the shutter.
