I think it is going to come down to how long it's going to take u to save for that nikon gold and whether or not you need a lens to cover that focal range in the meantime. For me, I just bought my first nikon last week, and I have no glass in that range so I'm looking at picking up a second hand 24-85 for the interim. There are plenty of fairly unused cheap ones around, so maybe that's an option for you. If you don't 'need' a lens in that range straight away just save your pennies.  The other option is the Tamron 24-70. Some people don't like 3 rd party, but I have heard nothing but good things about that lense and it's half the price.</blockquote>
