If you're still open for suggestions I'd recommend Canon 40D and a Sigma 18-50 2.8 EX DG Macro. This combo would run you about $1700 but it's well worth the money.
Next paycheck, get the Sigma 50-150mm 2.8 EX DG and a Canon 580EX II flash. This will set you back another $1300.
Last, get the Sigma 150mm EX HSM for a true 1:1 macro lens, a Gitzo carbon tripod and a 1.4x or 2.0x teleconverter for your 50-150mm lens and you'd be good to go. This, btw, will set you back another $1300.
