First of all, you are talking about very different prices... but, also, quality. I personally don't like the Canon because of the CMOS sensor type, but that's personal taste. But, what I can say, is that Canon lenses are nowadays almost worst in the market, so you should not buy the kit lens, and buy a SIGMA (for example) instead.
Talking about the D200 and the D80, there's a huge differece in money. But, if that's not a problem, the D200 is already a profesional camera, while the D80 is a more consumer friendly one. The image quality is better in D200 because of the pixel size. It has a better buffer, and better continuos shooting. The D80 is an excellent camera too, but there are some features you will only find in the D200.
I would buy the D200, or wait for the Canon D1s Mark III... but I assume that it will be over 3000 bucks. In the other hand... it's been a while since Nikon, Pentax and Sony doesn't come with a new camera, so it's likely that soon you will have more to choose from. If you can't wait... Nikon's D200 is the perfect choise.
Hope to be helpful,
Alan.
Note: buy it with the kit lenses of 18-200mm despite the price, because it's the most versatile in the market.
