Yes, I looked at some other models fairly hard. The university shutterbug here has several. He had both a Canon and the D70 Nikon - said it was a little like Ford or Chevy - you are down to the short strokes in differences by then.
I don't think the Canon 40 was out when I bought mine in the summer. I noticed that Canon has a super fast 1/8000 shutter speed! That would be cool!
The D80 is a little older by now, but it takes stunning photos.
I got the 18-200 VR lens - here is a review of it by Ken Rockwell (who also has a ton of info on his site - if you can take the strong opinions):

It's a pretty high-dollar lens - but it will take you from closeup insect photos to far off zooms with the flick of the wrist. No switching of lenses that potentially let dirt into the camera body.
Email me at howardh at opsu.edu and I'll send you some full resolution pics that show off the real power of the lens. It's amazing. I'd post them on a photo website, but I don't know of one that will come close to allowing the full resolution that this will capture... Photobucket, for example, limits you to 1024x768.
Even with my PC monitor set to 1920x1200, a 1:1 viewing shows less than half the picture.
