When I was young I firmly believed in love at first sight, now that I am a touch older I am not so sure.
There are some cameras I bonded with immediately and absolutely love using; the K1000 is an example. I use it every now and then for the joy of it but it is typically not the first camera I grab when I go out the door.
There are others I have slowly become more fond of as time passed, and now would find difficult to part with; the 645Nii, Contax II, and M9. These are the cameras that are used the most and one of them is almost always with me.
Finally, there are some I have never really bonded with but are useful enough to keep around; the Yashica-Mat, and the Canon 1Ds are examples. Once in a while I find that I need a unique capability that these cameras provide so when that situation arises I use them. Otherwise they sit on the shelf and wait.
Over the years I have been fortunate to purchase a number of very nice cameras. My wife is wonderfully understanding and I rarely sell them (or my lenses) and have very rarely returned any of them unless they were completely defective. Your D600 is likely a very useful tool and in time you will find the niche it occupies. If you can afford to do so I would hold onto it and give you and your new camera time to get to know each other. It can always be sold later on but it is somewhat depressing to end up purchasing a camera or lens a second time because you later regretted your hasty decision.
