Canon EOS 5D Mark II VS Nikon D700

"Which camera is better, Nikon D700 or Canon EOS 5D Mark II? I'm into shooting Fashion and Wedding Photography. I also love night photography so I need something that will be better for what I would like to shoot. Once you tell me what camera is best for what I would like to shoot please provide lenses that will work in night."

Pros of 5D Mark II (my opinion)
- 7 more megapixels – when cropping or printing large, you’re gonna love it
- Video. Supports record HD video, every wedding photograph will like it.
- Higher resolution and the professional flexible movie recording capabilities (23.976 fps, 24fps, 25fps, 29.97 fps, 30fps; also external mic input).

Pros of D700
- More AF points and faster
- Faster frame rate
- Accuracy and flexibility, ergonomics, and metering system.

Both have very low noise and ISO 25600 max. Both have excellent image quality. Both are not the best for fast subject tracking. A Nikon D3 or a Canon 1D/1Ds would be better for sports.

I would go with the 5D Mark II if I already have EF lenses and I would like to do some movies with fast prime lenses. Also the 5D II is better for landscape due to higher resolution. However, if I was planning to do pro shooting on wedding or any other events, I would prefer the D700 due to better AF system and easier metering system.
