Since I've recently gone through this, here's a couple of factors:
1. What's your budget? Advice isn't much good if it's out of your wallet range. If you are spending less than you paid for your D3x, you probably won't get digital results better than your D3x, especially if you need iso over 200.
2. What do you shoot? If you are a people photographer and you're getting suggestions from landscape folks, you need to factor that in. Info needs to fit into a certain context.
3. Return On Investment? You maybe able to get something cheap, use it and sell it for what you paid or not take a big loss. You might be able to find something at the top of your budget and it may or may not take a big hit when you upgrade, but you may have save a ton of time (which is equal to money if you are a professional) especially if you've gotten good glass which you'll hold on to. But again, if budget is less than D3x, well, I think results will be a turn off.
Your mileage may vary.
