actually i wonder how long and how much does it take for the older model to drop in price. as D700 is not near the price of D300 with a large price gap, it is not a replacement at same pricing. i wonder if D300 will drop by more than $150-200 within weeks of D700 launch, becos if i can get someone overseas to help me buy, i might do away with the GST, and that is roughly $150-200, so if it is not dropping by that much, then probably not worth the waiting.
