Digital Camera Flash Diffuser

Canon or Nikon or Other, Which Lens, Which Flash?
Right now these are the two setups I am looking at but I am open to any changes or any other opinions. My main uses for the camera are more skateboarding sports oriented pictures (outdoor and indoor), night city pictures and some portraits.
I am looking to spend about $1400 or less when all is said and done (shipping and whatnot included). All prices I acquired are from BHphotovideo.com. This will be my first DSLR and just trying to weigh out my options.
Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi $520
Canon Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Image Stabilizer USM Autofocus Lens $400
Canon 430EX Speedlite E-TTL II Shoe-Mount Flash $240
(also 4gb cf card $60, flash diffuser $15, extra battery $50, glass filter $25) $1315
OR
Nikon D80 with Nikon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens with 2 2gb sd cards $1080
Nikon SB-600 Speedlight i-TTL Shoe Mount Flash $180
(extra battery $40, glass filter $15) $1330 Total
Here’s some photos for you to compare.

Either camera will serve you well. Much of this depends upon how the camera “fits” your hands and your style.
Hope this is helpful.
