I'd like to clarify things a bit, so maybe you all can understand what my goals are. First, the D700 is not the final goal. It's only part of the goal, and the most expensive part yes, but just a part. The second D300 is a back up, and comforting for me since I currently don't have but one DSLR. And the D300 is my favorite DX, and I'm getting it cheaper than a lot of DSLRs that I like much less. So it's a bargain for my needs!
Also I'm not a about to get rid of my D300's or lenses to buy a D700, since I would have to replace everything I got rid if, and might not find them in as great shape nor at prices I got what I have right now.
Now that I don't smoke, I can spend the money I'm saving on a D700 once I get some bills paid off. In say the next year. Or maybe someone will convince me to get a different FX by then.
Anyway it will well work out in the end!
And thank you very much my friends for caring and trying to look out for me!
