Technically speaking, the D7100 is definitely an big upgrade over the D90. It's worth the upgrade as long as you're okay sticking with the DX sensor. You basically get a ton of great features from the pro level body. From the body to the AF sensor, everything is better. Image wise using the same lens though, the results are pretty much the same out of the box. Don't expect huge jumps, it's never that way. What's better over the D90 is all the technical stuff that gets you the shot easier/quicker. The D7000/D7100 feels a bit more solid in your hand. If you already have a few DX lenses you don't want to part with, it's a pretty good choice.
The D600 is basically a full frame sensor version of the D7000/D7100. It's a separate line. The D*000 series goes from consumer to pro-sumer. The D*00 line is more towards professional use with the D600 being the "entry" level professional camera. There are several rumors out there. One being the introduction of the D400 DX format pro camera and an update to the D600 FX format camera. Though few and far between, crop sensors still have a valid argument for pros....though it's likely not the case in the near future.
