D60 to D5000

So, I am considering an "upgrade" from my D60 to a D5000. Or, I get a 70-300 lens... Is the upgrade worth while, or stay with good glass?

I really dig the D60 btw, and get great shots, so supose there is no reason to change.

you'd need to upgrade to a D90 to even make it a worthwhile body upgrade. 70-200 would be better if you're looking at zooms.

you've already answered yourself, since you can state that there's no reason to change.

glass is a better investment.

the only time i consider a body upgrade is when a) the current body is crapping out and b) you're getting HUGE difference in performance.
