A lot of people give this advice, but for people bitten by the bug it will end up costing more working your way up the price ladder than buying what you really need in the first place.

The rule of thumb is to buy the best sensor/processor you can afford. Pair that with the best glass you can afford. A D9 and a couple good lenses will be less than a Sub if you shop around. And will be all the OP will need for many years to come. If the OP goes with the D8 the cost savings is a high quality tripod (expect to pay circa $1500 for a good tripod).
