Large prints are the reason for going full frame.

Low ISO dynamic range is a forte' of Nikon 810, but it's unrelated to full-frame vs. crop and more to do with sensor design choices by Sony/Nikon. Canon, OTOH, rewards at higher ISO and preforms best when Exposed To The Right. The 5DsR has super resolution, but so does the 7D MkII, with the same pixel-pitch. It does have improved DR at higher ISOs than the 7D2, but that's problem more a function of the sensor's newer design than full-frame vs. crop-sensor. In the long haul, full-frame is out big prints and resolution.
