The D7500 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Nikon D810 will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 15MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more modern D7500 will have a benefit in sensor tech.
