The question would be which one leaves you better off. My gut feeling tells me it would be best to leave it off and use an M9 or D800E and use anti Moir? software when needed. As I cant even name the software let along heard of seen stories or results of how effective it is I cant be sure. But I'm assuming they've got it under control. I have heard repeatedly on the lug over the years that just because there is no anti aliasing filter it does not exclude use of unsharp mask altogether. It just makes it much less necessary. One has to pay attention to ones images. - - from my iRabs.
