It's smaller & more rugged. Body-side IS as you mentioned. And more important than anything else - Pentax has a complete dedicated APS-C lens lineup. Nikon has merely isolated solutions here specifically regarding primes.
As for the rest - these are minor differences. Regarding the sheer specs there're also few differences towards a 60D so why would you choose a D7000 over a 60D ? The mid-to-upper class DSLRs are all darn close spec-wise.

I agree, they are all very close, especially now that the K-7 got its very needed upgrade.
Size wise they are all close too, and yes, the Pentax is the most compact.
What I do not like about Pentax, though, is the in-body IS in place of in-lens IS. Plus side: all lenses get IS. Minus side: its IS is not as capable. Says me with no IS- lens <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
