Go with Nikon? LOL. I've been a Canon guy since 1992! Well had a few years using Nikon pool gear shooting sports for newspapers mid-90s. For pros its a Ford/Chevy argument but really I believe its just about using the gear you know... "Its a poor workman who blames his tools" right?
Anyway the 7D is FAR from the "Best" Canon camera- its a ~$1000 body, listed as their 7th-from-top -o-line and discontinued now but a real workhorse- I've owned 4 of em because they're lighter and smaller than the pricier bodies but still have great guts, and that's been important for me over the years.
For the record, Canon's top of the line is a 1D-X, it runs $6000.
Extension tubes I use are found here:

Wow! Four of them! You must be a pro. 
I am a Canon guy too. I still love my old 20D.
In the analog days I remember Nikon being the best. Was it just the glass that was better?
As for the tubes - that is amazing! Just adding those tubes allows you to get macros with a long lens? I thought I would need a $800 macro lens and a X2 adapter to get good macros with my Canon!
My little POS Samsung WB150F is what I use mostly in the garden. I don't feel bad if it gets water splashed on it or if it gets a little sticky from my resin fingers.
Cheers,
Mo

Yes I believe that Back In The Day Nikon glass was better than just about anyone's, except perhaps some German glass (Leica, etc.). But then early '90s Canon's AF system came on the scene like gangbusters, and they really improved their glass too, and for a sports photographer Canon was the way to go. Really though either works fine and its more about knowing the camera system you're using than which is "best." So unless you've another compelling reason to switch I'd just stick with Canon. Maybe upgrade to the new 7D Mark II if you want to spend the $$$, or just go with the latest Rebel. Rebels are the cheapest Canon bodies but they work perfectly well with all the accessories- lenses, flashes etc. Great sensor, inexpensive, and compatible with all the high-end Canon gear... unless you've a real reason to spend more, DON'T! But if you're still using the 20D you'll be amazed at the tech developments in the past decade!
Far as the tubes, yep, they're all you need... well that and a whole lotta patience as they're quite challenging to use.
I have purchased from B&H but I prefer West Coast suppliers when possible and mostly buy from Camera World of Oregon. Prices are identical but they don't have assholes in customer service and never try to upsell!

Some chem soda cookies testers that I germed a while ago, and the 5 bagseed I popped to test germ.
