If you don´t use the 200-300mm range at all the Nikon 55-200mm VR would be a good choice for a Nikon APS-C cam. Else, basically all 70-300mm lenses are pretty good up to 200mm, the performance differences you may see in this zoom range are hardly critical.

Thank you for replying. I would use the 200-300mm range at some point, just not the majority of the time I shoot. If both the Tamron and Nikon 70-300 are equal as far as IQ goes throughout the range of the lens (and I believe they are the same weight), I could go with the less expensive Tamron or Pay $100 more for the Nikon. Are there any compatibility issues with the Tamron on a Nikon camera (D7000)?
