If you crop that full frame back to DX on a regular basis then its going to be an expensive tool for the job, unless it offers another must have feature.
While I agree with Joe's comment on full frame lenses, with this format if you use the full frame it can be a costly business at the telephoto end. Here the similarity exists with the old M/F slr's. Those lenses by comparison with 35mm equivalent fov were hugely expensive.
Re FX v DX : example my 180mm f2.8 = 270mm in DX ( ok it is not AFS or have VR ) cost around £500.
FX 300mm equivalent is the 300AFS VR f2.8 @ £2900. Even the f4 version of the 300mm is £300 more than the 180mm.
Expensive bees knees camera and budget glass is a different issue.
