@Graystar and lxdesign--Graystar is right in that you are leaving good choices on the table, BUT, it is your choice and if you're happy then great!!
@OP--You seem to really be missing the concept of how a camera determines exposure. Go back and reread some of the responses to your post. They explained it well. VR has really nothing to do with metering exposure, only with camera shake.
Camera shake has EVERYTHING to do with exposure settings. I read the responses, I disagree.
This is identical to the situation of putting a camera on a tripod. When a camera is on a tripod, exposure settings change drastically. AUTOMATIC modes do not account for a tripod, but, there is no electrical connection to a tripod to tell the camera it is being stabilized.
If there were an electrical connection to the tripod, I would expect Nikon to take tripod stabilization into account when selecting a shutter speed for a exposure. WOOT! maybe some day my new tripod will have a CPU!!
I believe the position stated by the posters that VR has really nothing to do with selecting a shutter speed and f-stop to meter an exposure is not considering all the capabilities the D7000 has or should have.
I have had people tell me that the D7000 PROGRAM mode will pick the same shutter speed and f-stop if I have the 50mm f1.8 lens or the 300mm f4 lens on. That is just not correct. The camera is much more capable than that.
If VR has NOTHING to do with exposure, there would be no 1/focal length rule. Heck, even Nikon knows the new 1/focal length rule no longer is valid with the better sensors of modern cameras and has recomputed that rule to faster shutter speeds. such as 1/(2Xfocal length) or faster (whatever the number, do not hold my feet to the fire for some number, it is a concept I am trying to explain).
I am not trying to argue a point, I am only trying to find out the best way to get the most out of VR.
From the responses, that appears to be using VR in a shutter priority mode or aperture mode, rather than a "Automatic" mode, depending on the results I am trying to achieve.
