Post Sensor size, megapixels and image quality questions

I'm new to DPS and this is my first post. I've searched and searched for an answer to this question but I can't find an answer anywhere and I know someone out there can answer this.

Would the Nikon D3 or D700 produce a higher quality image since they both have full frame sensors? The D3 is 24 megapixels and can produce an image size of 6,048 x 4,032. The D700 is around 12mp and can produce 4,256 x 2,832 images. (It seems like the D3 would but that's why I'm asking)

If you were to take identical pictures with each camera and enlarge each image to 16" * 20", which one would look better? Or could you really tell a difference at that size? How big would it have to be to see any difference?

I'm just curious how important megapixels are to full frame sensors and ultimately the quality of the image.
