It's smaller & more rugged. Body-side IS as you mentioned. And more important than anything else - Pentax has a complete dedicated APS-C lens lineup. Nikon has merely isolated solutions here specifically regarding primes.
As for the rest - these are minor differences. Regarding the sheer specs there're also few differences towards a 60D so why would you choose a D7000 over a 60D ? The mid-to-upper class DSLRs are all darn close spec-wise.

Hi Klaus,
I am a bit surprised (understatement) to see you being so positive about Pentax, in particular their lenses. From the comments you made while testing their lenses I thought you were not to fond of them. I sort of remember you having quite a few QC issues with (if my memory serves me right) the 16-50/2.8 and then there is the (in)famous 80-200. Did I get you wrong on this?
