I think I'd rather have a winder aperture instead of a longer zoom as I'll probably start saving up for a 70-200mm which will take me quite a while since I'm going to be going to school full time come september.

Also thinking of picking up a 85mm 1.8 in the mean time to make up for not having a longer zoom.

This is what my setup would look like:
Nikon 50mm 1.4
Tamron 17-50mm 2.8
Nikon 85mm 1.8
Nikon 70-200mm 2.8(By January if I save hardcore)
Did you want the 70-200 VR II, or will a VR I suffice? We have some used 70-200 VR I for around $1300~$1400.
