  Congratulations! Though I was half-expecting you to go for a 5D.

  Insert witty remark here to make up for the fact that Disqus didn't quite work as expected when attempting to approve a comment without responding to it via email.

  I'm quite jealous of your new toy. I hear the noise management is phenomenal. If my D200 wasn't completely adequate for my needs, I'd go with the D300. I'm still toying with the thought of going with the D3, but I think I'll wait for the next model to come out (maybe D3X...) so it pushes the price down (maybe.. didn't do it much for the D2-D2X). Really, it's so I can have a full-frame sensor for portraits (for the shallow DoF). But that's pretty damn hard to justify the price until I start doing more portraiture and have a demand for that image style.

  My dad has a D200 and, after using his quite a bit, while there are certainly improvements, I don't think I'd consider it justified enough to throw $700-$1000 down for (assuming you'd sell the D200).
  
  LiveView is cool, but not really all THAT useful. Maybe doing tedious amounts of portrait sessions. Maybe.
  
  Noise management is indeed awesome. And those that are "noisy" look more like film grain and retain a LOT more detail than I've seen in the past.
  
  Bigger Screen is always nice.
  
  Way better battery life.
  
  I think your plan is a good one. Keep the D200 and hold out for a D3.
