But, however, my second thing, I think I'd still go for the Rebel because of
the face detection AF mode, which works to center the DOF on faces detected
in the focal area. Also, it is my understanding that the face detection
mode also skews the AE metering to readings from the facial areas.

In a performance environment, where the lighting can be fairly tricky, it
would be nice to have the camera's AF and AE systems working together to
look for exactly what you want to shoot. This would help to free the OP
from some of the more mundane aspects of the shoot and help him to
concentrate more on composition and eliminating distracting backgrounds.

It's just my pension for exact metering at play here.

I don't know which Rebel you're recommending but the Rebel XTi has
very bad problems with exposure, especially flash exposure. I'm not
sure the one I used had face recognition or not though.

The D200 doesn't need gimicks like face recognition to get excellent
focus and exposure performance.
