The 40-150 2.8 ? I can afford it, but.... still pricy, heavy.... What was the reason I left Nikon.. too bulky and heavy.... ?

In all fairness, the equivalent to the 40-150 Pro is the Singma 120-300 which is a mamoth lens. The Sigma is a 3kg lens, the 40-150 is 880 grams, roughly half the size of the 120-300. So in contrast it's a third of the weight, half the size and a third of the cost.
For what the 40-150 can do, it is far from heavy or bulky, you can't expect a lens thats 300 at the tele end with a fast 2.8 to be pocket friendly. Your expectations are unrealistic.
