KEH is very generous on the grade of their used equipment, I have never regretted buying from them.Great plan, buy the glass that you need/want, THEN get the fancy body. Also I wouldn't call the D200 a slouch...if you shoot @ 400 and under ISO like I do with the D200, you'll never be disappointed with it.
It is what it is.

I also have to agree that KEH is the way to go in buying used to save money. I have never got a bad lens from them yet, and the one bargain grade lens I got from them was what I have seen others rate as good, or better.
You are on the right path in focusing on glass over body upgrades. I try not to do the body upgrades myself but sometimes something like the D300 comes out, or the D800 now, and my hands start to shake wanting to buy.
