I recently had a day out with the 80-200 2.8 and loved that lens ( https://flic.kr/s/aHskbxHDSJ ). It sort of gave me the telephoto bug. I noticed though that I really never shot below 3.5, so it would sort of be a waste of lens for me. I was looking at the 70-300 4.5-5.6 as a solution, but I feel like that 5.6 at the long end is a bit small. I'd be interested in how it treated anyone who had it, and if they found a better solution in that price range. I also worry it couldn't match the 80-200 2.8's sharpness at the long end. Is that just out of reach at the price range?

edit - http://www.techradar.com/us/news/photography-video-capture/cameras/best-budget-nikon-telephoto-zoom-1043012/1 Reading this and getting closer to thinking the 70-300 is a good idea. If the wife wouldn't lose her poo poo I'd just get the 80-200.

Remember that at 200mm 2.8 you have more control over shutter speed in bad light than at 5.6 aperture. Get the 80-200 2.8 you won't regret it. You also can get better isolation of subject from the background at 2.8 than at 5.6.
