The D90 is a pretty good camera. The D7000 only gives one usable stop better for high ISO. The D7000's other strengths (compared to the D90) are a bigger viewfinder, ability to meter with manual lenses, more AF points, more megapixels, a second card slot, and little arrows around the focus dot in the viewfinder. Other than that, the D90 has most of the frills you'll ever need (like DOF preview, manual everything, customizeable buttons and menus, illuminated top LCD, etc, etc). The D7000 will also AF with video, but I've never even shot a video with my camera so I don't care (if I wanted to do video, I'd buy a video camera).
