assuming cost is the same or less for the Tamron

That's a good question and I'm wondering why so many are excited about this... I can see the appeal of a lighter package for hiking, but doesn't giving up the f/2.8 aperture reduce its capability of rendering nice bokeh for portraiture?

Here's a link with some Tamron 70-200 images + review (on a 5D3 though):

Expensive. Slow Glass. And not all that light or small.

People will buy it though.
