Well, I'm a little insulted having Nikon compared to Dodge, but I'll let it slide.
I do like my D70, but I also get jealous of little digicams with huge lcds on the back compared to the D70's tiny display, looks like this might fix that. The two things I've noticed in comparing my D70 with the Canon 20D is that the D70 has too much noise at high ISO's and long exposures, and isn't quite as good at focusing in low light with comparable lenses. I hope these problems are addressed with the D80.
Other than those few little things, like Matty said, a lens is going to make way more difference than a few extra megapixels. I'd choose to spend a few hundred on a good wide angle before upgrading.
