I'd say go for the D7000 and sell the D200. The $500 from the D200 sale you can put towards getting the next body.

I wouldnt replace the 80-200 f2.8 AFD (Is it an AF, or AFD? What year of manufacture - if you show picture of lens plate or describe then we should be better placed) as unless you move up to the 70-200 f2.8 AFS VRii then you wont see any advantage and even then that advantage is very small. I dont think VR is all it is cracked up to be.

I would bet that the D600 will be D800-sized but with a smaller sensor and all the same features.  I expect it to be 24MP as well.

I'd use the extra $500 towards a D600 as and when it comes out as it will be $2500 or more but after discounting will drop to $2000 approx.
