It's tempting to believe that grey market stuff is second or third choice, but I've no evidence and I think as you, as soon as "somebody would leak this information" it was rotten business. For Nikon's bean-counters sold bodies are sold bodies.
What you tell otherwise about your little gem is the same I felt when arriving at D7000 from Pentax plastic (K-m, K-x) to something more decent. Then again with D800 and the best so far is D810. Regardless how many days I spent with calibrating, it feels sooo solid. I still like to grab it when I want to feel something heavy, large and bulky in my hands ^_^ .
