Why the 80-200 AF-D vs. the 70-200 AF-S, strictly because of cost? The AF-D will be slower and noisier when autofocusing, since it doesn't have a built in AF motor. I've seen a few on the local CL for $1,500-ish. I know that doesn't leave you any money for another lens, but then you compromising on lenses strictly because of cost.
I'd take one great lens over one good lens and one OK lens. I'd go for the 70-200 VR AF-S and save up for the 24-70 F/2.8 AF-S. Sure, that is nearly $3,000 for glass, but you'll have world glass for a long time.
You've still got the 18-200 VR, right?
