Your D90 is a very capable and tough camera, and rather than replace it
consider an upgrade which you can use with it. That way you will have a
functional spare Nikon body you can use. Particularly useful if you are
shooting with two different lenses where switching lenses might be a
hassle.
If you are happy with Nikon APS-C size sensors such as that found in
your D90, my recommendation would be the D7000.

If you want to step up to a full frame DSLR, the D800 is worth considering.

As a disclaimer, I am a Nikon user, and I am sure that you would like
to have some use out of the Nikkor lenses you own, otherwise I would
have recommended some Canon, or Sony DSLRs to consider.

Yup!
