Also if I was only comparing Nikons with Nikons, I would indeed buy the D300 no regrets. But that's not the case.

I think that when you compare the D70 with the 300D, 10D, or 20D at that time, and now the D300 with the 40D, that Nikon has done a good job getting much closer to being comparable, or even better in some ways, than the competing Canon body. The Canon will likely continue to be better but the gap is so much smaller now that I really don't see it as being an issue, especially in print.
