Nikon D40 DSLR compared to Nikon D60 DSLR?

Hi, I am deciding between a D40 and a D60 DSLR. This would be my first DSLR and I am on a budget. Besides the difference in megapixels, I found out that D40 uses D-Lighting whilst D60 uses active D-Lighting. Just to like to ask if there is any big difference in these functions in bright scenes. I found 2 deals both come with dual lens VR lens (15-55mm and 55-200mm) D40 at S$1099 whilst D60 at S$1299. The D60 comes with an extra tripod. Other free gives common for the both include a 4Gb SD card, card reader, lenspen micro(What's that?), umbrella, Bag(Nikon brand for D40, lowepro brand for D60) Megapixels do not matter to me, just the camera performance. I do need one that performs well at night and during daytime when there's bright background. Thanks in advance, I need some advice urgently. If anyone has the same type of offer but at a cheaper rate, do let me know where I can purchase them. I prefer to purchase from a shop and not online. Thanks to all.
