Somehow I've the feeling, Klaus was talking about projectors for home use, less so to rent an IMAX cinema just for a slide show 
On my last trip to Wales I've seen the iPhone 8MP prints hanging 6 meters high as a very large and very impressive poster. Of course, careful post-processing was involved, I guess - but thats skill, not magic. I find myself pleased with only 36MP but high dynamic range. I do crop, if I have to and I do it without hesitation, if the picture is technically alright and as sharp as I want it. But I don't point at something and crop afterwards what I want to see.
However, you will find yourself not necessarily pixel peeping but sometimes you will discover details you haven't seen when shooting the frame. That's definitely a nice side. But in terms of sharpness and resolution I prefer the little Sigmas, if the dynamic range is not over 6 stops, a tripod available and base ISO possible. I had about half a dozens pictures taken with D810 and Sigma DPxM and I always prefer the Sigma results. Unfortuantely their handling is just outdated and opposite of fast.
