Cause Maxwell now have a price for the AFS 300VR f/2.8

This puppy will set you back 10,660.00

D2x would be about the same then. If you went with Maxwell...

For 10K it better do a lot more than just take pictures... if you know what I mean.

I bet it comes with an assistant that carries it around for you and helps you with composition etc.

Whoa...$10k is a hefty sum towards a deposit on a house (or an awesome wedding!?!)...hmm..why doesn't money grow on trees?

dooda,
What can you buy with Aussie 10K?
A nice wooden coffin? or a tiny block of land in the cemetry?
Taking photo and enjoy life with your new toys is still better than doing other thing, once people boxed you in the wooden box, you can't bring 10K with you, again, when you're up in the heaven or down to hell, perhaps someone will ask you:
What's your hobbies when you were up into your human life?
- Hobby photogs.
Did you try this or that or D2x or Dxxxx. etc....
- No, I wanted it but I kept 10k for doing something.
Do you know what the evils down the hell say?
- You're __________________________!!!!!!!!
Fill the gap with your thoughts

seriously though, at 300mm f/2.8 AND with VR this lens is going to be a very very sweet puppy...

Very very true. I would have no money for a coffin, and I would need it too because of the lead pipe embedded in the back of my head with my wife's fingerprints on it.

10K hey! ... well I've decided, if I can't take it with me I'm not going.

A wedding for $10,000?? yeah right! Photographer alone set me back $3000. If I could have shot my wedding myself, I would have!

I like that
