It may be the half-star drop in optical rating is because the D7000 sensor is more demanding than the D200 it shows up any shortcomings... or it could just be the passage of three years, experience and refinement of ratings... I don't think it's helpful to read too much into the rating drop.
As the reviews on both sensors state, it's a sharp lens. It can certainly produce very high quality images on the D7000. It is also a very useful range - in comparison to the 17-55 / 2.8, though 'slow' compared to that lens, it also has VR and is half the price.
