I'd stick with Nikon. This is coming from a Canon shooter. You already have the 105/2.8 VR and 50/1.2 manual focus and a flash. I'd look for a used D700, no point in buying a new one right now and no point waiting either!
As for Canon's standard zoom being better - I hear very good things about Nikon's 24-70/2.8.
If you're concerned about lack of AF with your 50/1.2 - Maybe buy a 50/1.4G (or Sigma 50/1.4) and use the 1.2 when you just need that extra little bit of aperture, a specialty lens for slower-paced more careful work.
