I've been doing more reading and testing
Nikon's defenders Thom Hogan and Ken Rockwell both get into the mechanics of shooting (how you use the buttons, how well the exposure is done. I have yet to find this type of defense on the Canon side).
Nikon d70s' advantages - more relevant info in viewfinder area, better access to image size and white balance, weight, price, better metering, better flash, more consistent menus between models, lens don't twist in in different ways, iso auto?, horizontal dials seem nicer, larger LCD, better visibility of LCD in daylight, bigger sensor, iso contrast setting, better use of dials in manual mode, spot metering, quieter shutter release.
Canon 20d- more and better located focus areas, mirror-lock up for slow shots, 3200 iso, better gripping material, more pros seem to be switching to canon, tilt-lenses, nicer viewfinder, scroll wheel better for menus, dedicated autofocus zone selector, usb 2.0, better customer service.
