The old 70-200 f/2.8 VR I can be had used for just over $1,000 and is an amazing lens on DX, but you really have to hold that lens in your hand to appreciate how big and heavy it is - especially on a smaller body like the D3200.

A good 70-200mm f/2.8 or f/4 is a bread and butter lens in almost all serious kits. All the top brands and third-party brands have excellent examples, with really great IQ.
I don't know why he's saying it's better on DX than FX (crop-sensor than full-frame) since they're known for great IQ and versatiliy.
Here's a typical full-frame, 70-200mm shot at 111mm:

It's also a great portrait lens and great for some wildlife.
