I have both. And there's no comparison. There's a reason one is $300 and the other is $1500. And it's not just the 2.8 aperture. The 50-200 makes a nice light travel lens since it's fairly small and the IQ acceptable. I kept mine when I bought the 50-150 for that reason. But the 50-150 is in another league. It's no different than comparing the Nikon or Canon 70-200 2.8 with their 50-200 kit lens. Better IQ, better build quality, constant and faster aperture...
