What do you like/want to photograph? That might influence the decision just a tad.

Do you have a good tripod and head? A cable release? Image editing software? A printer? All these IMO are as important as the lenses.

There are several things lacking from your lenses.

No true wide angle. A 12-24mm zoom would do. The Tokina and Nikon ones are good. I do not use mine much, but when I do, I really like the results. Actually the only reason I do not use it is lack of ability. It demands so much to get good results.

No long. Sadly Nikon do not really do long at modest cost. Don's 400mm F5.6 is available at reasonable cost, and is nice, as I am sure he will confirm. I have the Sigma APO Macro equivalent which is okay.

Of my lenses, the real gem is the 200mm micro. Next is the 60mm micro, now replaced with an 85mm tilt shift micro. Third the 12-24mm zoom. But then again my obsession is close ups, and I even use the wide angle zoom for that.
