Should I sell my Nikkor 18-200?

Ok so here's my dilemma...

Nikon D90 will be released in September and will sell for $1299 with a 18-105 VR lens. My problem is that I bought a Nikorr 18-200 VR lens a month or so ago along with a D60 that I have now returned. I plan on purchasing the D90 when it comes out, but I will likely have 2 lenses, the 18-200 and the 18-105 kit lens. Should I sell the 18-200? Should I buy the body only? Is the 18-105 kit lens worth keeping if I do buy the bundle for $1299? Thoughts are appreciated. Thanks guys.

Nikon needs to come out with that lense at constant F4...would be amazing...but slow as is...

++2 on that one.

I went from pounds and pounds of 2.8 lens and when I went ot the 18-200, it was all over. There are always give and takes for a multi function lens like this but yo simply can not beat it for the price and the return vs. cost.

Well, the cost is either money or photo quality. A 70-200mm 2.8 Nikkor lens is going to take shots the 18-200mm can't dream of. Higher end lenses cost more money, but also can be sold for 90% of their original value. I've had my 70-200 2.8IS for 2 years or so, and can sell it for $100 less than what I bought it for. $100 loss for 2 years of using it is chump change.
