Get hands on with both a 60D and a D7000 before you decide that the buffer is an issue. You will find the buffer "issue" to be similar on both cameras when shooting in RAW (14 bit large mega-pixel files are BIG). Once you get the feel of the buffer size and speed of your SD card, you naturally know how to shoot, at what speed and size. Just like any other camera.
I shot a gymnastics meet this last weekend, mostly in RAW, some in JPG, and never had continuous shooting issues with the buffer. I actually dialed down the number of shots in one burst because sometimes the camera was too fast for what I was trying to capture and I was eating up SD card space too fast.
I found the camera labs review kinda funny. All reviews are subjective, I get that, but this one seemed to be trying to find issues with the D7000. They would say how great it was in one breath, followed by a BUT... then some completely subjective statement that made it obvious they were nit picking. And in the end it was ironic how it got very good scores in pretty much all categories. It's like they said "this camera is almost awesome, but it's a Nikon so it's not."
Oh well, I am biased too since I own it. I'm glad I do, I'm having a ton of fun with it.
