I have both the D80 converted for IR use and the 18-200 that you are desiring.
The 18-200 is a very good lens but is very annoying to carry on a strap as it zooms out or extends under the weight of the lens and when in extended mode is very easy to damage and bang into things.
I would swap it for a lens version that didnt do this if such a lens existed. I already have a Nikon 28-200 which is much smaller lens and it has a small switch that locks rhe lens closed, and so it is my preferred lens except that I lose the w/a portion of the zoom range.
Optically the 18-200 lens is very good.
