Frankly, tonality, pixel-level sharpness and DR are my #1 Priorities.
If this means 6mp that would be Ok for me. You can, of course, argue that I could get just that by downsizing but what is the point of extra processing steps.
Your mileage may vary, of course.

Pixel level sharpness makes no sense, in the sense that only image level sharpness matters. So if a 12mp camera has better pixel level sharpness, but lesser image level sharpness than a 36mp camera.... the 36mp camera is better.
You do not need to downsize, it is all about printing at the same size. Pixel sharpness is only about pixel peeping, only makes sense when you compare similar resolutions really.
DR, well, I have said this before. I always end up with limiting the DR I get out of my camera. In other words, instead of lowering contrast I enhance contrast. Only when I make a big mistake with an exposure I can't repeat, a bigger DR has a value.
