In light of some special events this summer, I got myself the Nikon D200. Combined with my current lenses (18-200
mm f/3.5, 17-50mm F/2 & 70-200 f/2 VR), that should be just right ! I debaded a lot between the D80 and the D200, but what won me over was the Magnesium-Allow weather-resistant body (as opposed to Plastic), the 3D Metering with object tracking, the GPS & WiFi support, 5 pictures-per-second, 0.15sec startup time, dedicated buttons for everything (as opposed to shuffling in the LCD menu), extended bracketing features, extended wireless iTTL control, and the 4-channel image processor similar to the D2x. See

http://www.nikon-euro.com/D200/latin/main.php for an interactive description of the camera.
For my Canon friends, it's a bit higher in specs to the Canon EOS 30D (probably more comparable to the EOS 5D), and leaves the the Rebel XTi / EOS 400D in the dust... (for more about Canon vs. Nikon, see
