12. This, with one minor consideration

Regarding the size/weight of full-frame cameras, this is more or less negligible in mirrorless cameras. My full-frame a7 weighs a hell of a lot less than the cropped D7100 I use for work.

But there are still plenty of sensible reasons to avoid switching to mirrorless, chief amongst which is your significant investment in Nikon glass. Maybe one of these days Nikon will get serious about mirrorless bodies. If the A7RIII and A9 don't scare them into it, I don't know what will.
