Maybe you won't want to hear this. I bought a D7000, used to have a D80 but dropped it off a wall. The difference is enormous and, I think, a counterbalance to the "it's all about the lenses" dogma. Using the same lenses the pictures are sharper, the grain is grain rather than noise, the focusing is better (the 3D tracking is amazing), the metering is better, the ISO range/low light ability is much better, the controls are better, the flexibility is better, the U1/U2 presets are incredibly useful, it has 2 card slots. And it shoots video - though not very well, I think.
All in all it makes it easier to take a greater variety of pictures. The reaction I got to my pictures (admittedly not from people who wake up screaming in the middle of the night having had a bad dream about barrel distortion) when I started using the D7000 just confirmed it, Same (cheap-ish) lenses, better camera, better photos.
