Comparing the Nikon D7100 to the Nikon D600 camera comparison reminds me of the Canon 7D and Canon 5D MK2. In technology, the Nikon D7100 is more advanced than the D600, the same as the Canon 7D which is technologically superior than the 5d mk2.
Why the difference in price of both reach approximately 8 million? The price difference is caused because the D600 has a larger sensor, the term full frame or FX. While the Nikon D7100 has a smaller sensor or DX. Sensor also influences the magnitude of the viewfinder, so the viewfinder on the Nikon D600 bigger and clearer. Another effect is the camera viewpoint FX broader and more widely available wide lens / wide.

Actually, the quality of the Nikon D7100 sensor is far from ugly. Equally with the same resolution 24MP, Nikon D7100 also benefited from the absence of a low pass filter so that the picture is sharper than any other DX sensor camera. There's only risk without the low pass filter. There is a possibility of moire or defects appear on photos when shooting your subject tightly textured or patterned.
About speed consecutive shooting, both cameras pretty fast. Nikon D7100 excels at speeds up to 6 consecutive photos fps and 7 fps in crop mode. Nikon D600 is only 5.5 fps but more relieved that the size of the buffer can hold 16 pictures than the Nikon D7100 that only 6 photos of RAW. So, when shooting straight with the D7100, in 1 second camera was jammed. Then we had to wait until the camera to write data to the memory card. When taking pictures with JPG files can certainly last longer.
Then, the system is more sophisticated autofocus Nikon D7100, the Nikon 51 focus points that are a mainstay in the top level cameras. While the D600 only has 39 focus points that coverage area is quite narrow. Consequently, for journalism or sports photography, the Nikon D7100 is superior.
Recommendation: If the picture quality and a wide selection of high-quality lenses are overlooked, Nikon D600 full frame camera is a better choice. But if you want a balanced camera for any occasion, Nikon D7100 better. An additional advantage in choosing the D7100 can save 8 million so that the remaining funds can be allocated to the lens or accessories are more qualified.
