Are you going to replace your D700 with the new kit or add a second camera for hiking? In the latter case, I'd clearly vote for the D7000, since you can share most accessories.
Otherwise, I suggest to try both if possible and choose the one you like better.
Regarding the issues you mention: low light is always a challenge for any AF. And I doubt that shutter induced blur is a field relevant issue. I have this on the D3x, too, but to me it only matters for the lab tests (where I can see a light drop in resolution on horizontal lines, if I don't use an extra stabilized setup). In the field, it was never an issue for me.
