Question for Nikon DSLR users

Hey guys,

I'm looking to get a midrange lens for my Nikon D80. Currently I have the kit lens 18-55mm, and telephoto 55-200mm VR, but I hate switching between the two just to get a good shot when the situation changes. Plus, I carry around the extra 55-200mm lens (or vice versa) in the bag which takes up a lot of space.

So I was looking at the Nikon (Nikkor) 18-105mm VR lens as a midrange lens that still has enough zoom capability.

What do you guys think of the 18-105mm VR lens? The 18-135mm has no VR feature (VR = Vibration Reduction, which is handy when zoomed in to minimize blurring) and the 18-200mm VR is way too expensive (even when buying used). I already have the 55-200mm as I mentioned so that covers longer range if needed.

What do you guys think? Any reviews from those who have used this kind of lens? I prefer Nikkor but willing to look at other brands (Sigma, etc). Thanks!
