Look, here's the thing. When it comes to technical image quality (resolution, dynamic range, etc) don't waste your time pouring over all the data. If you're straining your eyes trying to compare 5Dm3, D800, XT-1, A7r, etc, etc, you're just wasting time. They all look amazing. No one will EVER notice any difference.
Most of the world's famous photographers all used cameras that were shittier than these at some point and made amazing images on them.
Pay more attention to how you like the camera design, how it feels in your hand, how much you like the focusing system, the controls, and think about the type of photography you do. Fast AF is important for some people, but tons of people still use MF. Think about how it will suit YOU, and know that you can always just sell your fancy camera and buy some other fancy camera if you don't like it.
Best advice: if you live in a city that rents these, rent the one you think you want for a weekend. See how it goes.
But as far as resolution, dynamic range, and all that, just let it go. They're all the top of the line, and will produce extremely similar results.
