Frank, look at the resolution chart for the Tamron made with a D700!! It is excellent through to 300 in the center and "very good" otherwise. This test is done with DXO. The test also claims tat the Tamron is better from 200mm on than the Nikkor.

Now, I don't have shares in either, but I own a Tamron with the D700 and find it super. That being said, the Nikon would be very good as well, but buy a 70-300. From what you say and the lenses you have, it is the best choice in my humble opinion.
