Nikon are only missing the opportunity if they want to pursue DX heavily, but I don't think that they do, as indicated by the absence on pro DX and now the D600 release.

Well an opportunity is an opportunity, whether or not they want to exploit it.

The new 70-200 f4 is an interesting option, with reduced size, weight and price over the 2.8 version.
