In all honesty comparing the D300s to the D7000 is like comparing green apples to red apples...

Sounds like he's been smoking the same stuff as DaveyJ. If only taking a photograph was always about just getting one right. In the field shooting wildlife like birds or shooting athletes doing active sports, your buffer can be your saviour.
As a sports photographer I've found buffer to only be a little important. I usually only need a burst of 5 shots to get the shot so buffer isn't an issue. A burst can save you but unless you have 10 objects you are trying to chase or a rapid COMPLEX sequence long bursts aren't often necessary.
It is true that a large buffer can save you sometimes as when Im shooting a set of racers my buffer may fill up before I can shoot the 3rd rider so I do somewhat agree with this point. However even though my D200 has the bigger buffer. My D90 and D7000 can do a much faster fps than the D200 can after the buffer is full. The D7000 can do around 2.5 fps when full while the D200 seems to be every other second...
