D7000 Ai and AiS compatibility is a game changer.
I've been buying the occasional minty but "used" Nikon AiS lens lately.
Once one gets used to Pentax prices for classic glass, Nikon seems like a bargain. Nikon classics are plentiful, built to last a lifetime, many like new samples exist in USA.
Here's my favorite Nikon lens info site, production totals for each lens from day one
Nikon Lens Serial Nos
Buying an $1,199 D7000 won't make you sell your Pentax, at least not at first
I should have cashed out of my entire Pentax kit a couple years ago,
but I am a sucker for the weekly Pentax full frame is coming rumor, year after year...

When I bought my K10D I wasn't prepared to spend the double or more a D200 was in my part of the world which was needed to use my Ais glass with anything more than guesstimate metering. Recently I choose to grab a K7 instead of moving up to a D300. Have been happy with the K7 for the majority of the time but recent use at 1600ISO has me a little disappointed. Also, if SDM was robust, I'd already have a 60-250/4 and be in the line for a K5 when it appears. However, I don't have much in the way of Pentax lenses, so I still have a burning desire to use my 105/2.5 Nikkor... decisions... decisons... arrggghhh!! (in truth I won't be doing anything until both cameras are well reviewed by the general public)
