money IS somewhat of an issue. i'd be hard-pressed to convince the wife that the $850 Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S DX was a worthwhile investment.  Then again, the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 is only a $100 cheaper.
The Tokina 12-24 f/4 is yet another $100 cheaper than the 11-16 at $660. |
If you don't mind paying for the 11-16, I'd get that over the 12-24. Having that extra stop is pretty handy especially when travelling. Plus when I was shopping for UWAs, all the reviews comparing the two have the 11-16 beating the 12-24 in every way except price.
And someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure your D80 will have a focus motor on the body (unlike the d40/40x/3000), so it should AF on your camera.

even the bombastic KR suggests it. moreso than the 14-24
