I started out with the Nikon 18-200 and liked it for ease of use and quick focus. It was originally on my D70, then D5100, D300s and finally D7000. In too many cases it wasn't wide enough and didn't have the reach I wanted in a walk around. I purchased the Tamron 16-300 and it satisfies the range issues.
BUT, it doesn't not focus as well in low light conditions and at small at apertures. I am forced to focus manually and that is tough with modern Nikons. (I sure do miss the split image)
I suggest as others have that you rent first.

I do not own one but did research recently... It is heavy! And may not be small enough to take as a carry on.

The pro version has adapters for Manfrotto RC2. That's what I use.

The clip attaches to the strap of my back pack. I am posting a picture.

Rent one first, then you know first hand

You don't say if you carry a backpack, if so consider the Peak Design clip:

It holds my camera and will mount to my Manfrotto heads.

I use a Tamron 16-300 VR DX. It serves well and resolves the issues others have brought up regarding what you shoot. It focuses well and with my D7000 the max aperture has not been a problem.
I have other lenses for special conditions.

If I read the update correctly it modifies the list and characteristics for lenses to be used on your camera. I am concerned that non-Nikon lenses might suffer from this update. There does not seem to be much info regarding that.
Of course in PP you can do your own lens correction.
