I haven't checked recently, but does Tamron offer a 55-200 with image stabilization? If not, then I'd go for the Nikon, whose VRII works very well. Image stabilization (aka VR) is very useful, especially at longer focal lengths. Because the D3200 can get rather noisy at higher ISO, anything you can do to keep ISO lower can help.
