I have a totally different take on the whole thing...
the D2X is an incredible low light performer in that it can focus in the absolute dark, where the D70, on the otherhand is quite pedestrian in that if the light is low, it won't focus...
OK Maybe I just don't take the same "Low Light" pictures as you do, or maybe it is just the result of using the simply amazing 70-200mm f/2.8, but when my D70 actually focused better and quicker than my Canon 1D, please note that the 1D was using a 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens.
I have no doubt that the D2X, and by inference the D200, have better focusing than the D70 in low light, and maybe it is just my expectations, but the D70 is anything but pedestrian IMHO.
But so that I am not comparing apples to oranges does the below qualify as a Low Light photograph

In the above the ISO was 1600, and the only light was coming from the stage. This was taken with a D70, and the afore mentioned 70-200mm with VR disabled, and it sure did seem to focus quickly, nearly instantly in fact.
