I plan to keep the D40 for snapshots. It is just such a great little camera but I really want to do some HDR and need bracketing capabilty. I also want hard buttons for metering, AF etc rather than haveing to putz around in the menu system of the D40.
So... here's what I have so far for the 300 over the 90: newer model (by a year), magnesium construction (D90 is plastic) and somewhat weatherproofed, twin card slots, 7fps out of the box, 51 point AFS. Amazon has the D90 for $829, D300S for $1450.
Hmmmm....

Yea. I have read a ton of reviews and what it comes down to is the shutter speed. if you plan to shoot sports then its D300s all the way. If you don't then it seems the D90 and D300s will basically shoot exactly the same quality pics. I believe the D90 will do the bracketing you want too. Although I run all my photos through an HDR program if I think they will look good that way.
