As far as used cameras go, if you can find one under 30k clicks, that is probably pretty good. Definitely stay away from any that are past 150k.
I think I am at 100k for each of my D800 and they seem to be holding up well.
The Nikon D600/610 are going to be slightly less but the D800 price is the most features per dollar in comparison. The D810 basically adds 1 fps for 5 fps instead of 4fps. I use my D800 for portraits with probes so the 4fps hasn't been an issue.
The interesting thing about the $2k budget is the ability to buy 2 D800 and not have to switch lenses so much. One would still have money left over for lenses.
