However I do wonder what your reasoning for the "transition" is? Having used both systems professionally for many years, I don't consider there is any difference between the top end stuff from either manufacturer. If you want to collect/use Nikon kit, then go ahead. If you are just considering change for changes sake - forget it and get yourself a Canon F if you really need a 'better' camera, than the FTb. Personally I consider that the manual focus Nikkors could be classed as 'useless' for general photography on a digital F mount body. For me the auto focus function is a major plus on the DSLR, so why consider using manual optics? The only manual focus I ever consider using are my T & S lenses, when I am working on building exteriors/interiors.
