There seems to be more Canon supportors in here than Nikon, but I've heard a lot of good things said about the Nikon. Saying that, the Canon seems to sit well in people's hands, and comfort has a lot to do with eventual decisions. Get yourself down to Jessops and try one out. Ask for a charged up one and wander round the store and actually take some shots.
What's the price difference? I'd say just buy a body only and pick up a couple of cheap lenses if you can afford it. The Canon 28-135 can be had for £200ish, or a really cheap Canon 50mm prime (which is an awesome lens for the money) for £50 if you don't mind being limited by the focal length.
Saying that, as you've got Pentax lenses, I haven't got a clue what camera body takes that fitting, so hopefully someone else can fill in the blanks. Or you could see how much they're going for on Ebay and put the cash towards a new lens.
I love my Canon 10D. I've used other brands, and nothing feels as comfortable as the Canon. I've been delighted with the quality of the images since I got it, and to tell the truth, to amateur or Semi Pro photographers, I think you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between standards or features between two different brands. It's almost like 3DMark scores....only the calculator can tell the difference.
