I think FX glass is better, but if you are not thinking in upgrade to Full Frames next 2-3 years, why spending a lot of money with FX glass?
BUT, if you want to get serious into photography you can use FX glass on your D7000 and later on change the body. It's always a good investment because the lenses do not change like the bodies. If you get today a good 24-70 2.8 this lens could stay with you for years without need to replace it or upgrade from the brand. What kind of photography you like to do? This is important in order to recommend some lenses.
Cheers

There is actually advantage of FX lenses on DX body, since only the best part (the middle) of the lens will be used.
Did you watched my video?

Good topic, labeeb.

I'm not really sure either if FX lenses on a DX camera is a good idea or not.
Yes, there is no doubt that it is wise to invest in good FX glass, for the future
as the lens will last much longer than the body.
But... this is only if you eventually expect to own a full frame camera.

Do FX lenses work as well as DX lenses on a DX camera? I really don't know.
Except for the crop factor, what other differences are there?

Does the camera have it's own focusing motor? Yours does, others (including mine) do not.
I would guess that more DX lenses have motors built in than FX lenses.
If a camera has no internal motor you would have to manually focus an FX lens without one.
That's not good.
