There's two big reasons to get the D80. One is the extra resolution, and the other is the much larger viewfinder. (There's also a bunch of smaller reasons.)
Regarding the resolution, with 16x20 you'll see a difference. You'll start to see a difference with anything larger than 8x10.
Here's why. A high quality printer will be set for 300dpi. That's about as fine as the human eye can resolve. So when you print, ideally you'd have 300x300= 90,000 pixels to work with for every square inch. That works out to a whopping 34.5 mega-pixels for 16x24 inches (from which you'd crop a 16x20 print.)
