The usual advice when choosing a DSLR system is: Go into the shop, take both cameras in your hands, see which you feel most comfortable with, which one you understand best. As you already have a Coolpix you will certainly have less problems adapting to the D200.

BTW the EOS 20D is due for replacement in a couple of months. You might find that the price drops sharply soon.
