Thanks all,
Managed to get a second hand D90 (under 2000 shutter count!) along with the battery grip, 10-20 Sigma, and a LowePro backpack for under $900.
Also included in the package was the stock 18-55mm Nikon lens and the Tamron 70-300mm lens, which I won't be keeping.
Very happy now.
Not the same as a D7000, but you get what you pay for.
