Thanks for the answer, actually i was aligning my-self toward third-parity glass anyways... To be more specific, i'm planning to get the Sigma 100-300/4. as my main tool... plus some FE and really wide glass, but that's secondary...
Having had some limited experience with Nikon's D200/D300 and some VERY limited experience with the K20d, I really liked the overall speed of Nikons... But in all honesty, only using K20d body felt "just like home"... Controls are damn nice... No to mention the in-body SR... I guess I will wait for the K20d replacement to come out before making any "far-leading" decisions.
B.t.w. for a few days I had that exact combo, D300+70-200VR... That is one fine piece of glass...
A bit expensive, though the used ones dropped significantly ever since the D700 came out...
Again, thanks a lot for your suggestions, really appreciated.

There are a few users on this site that shoot action sports (surfing, mountain biking/bmx, motorsport, and car racing) with Pentax. There is also a cadre of wildlife and bird photographers. There are also a few that do team sports such as American football. From what I have seen, they get pretty good (actually excellent) results.
Yeah, I spent my time of these guy's galleries and I was very impressed. To be perfectly hones I'm leaning more towards sticking with Pentax for good. Faster FPS would have been nice though, in sports it does matter. So again, I'll wait for the K20-s successor to come out and see what it has to offer. I still have a few months before our season starts, thus plenty of time to make up my mind and save up some cash...
