I think you’ll be very happy

Yeah I don't doubt it, but my pocket book will be less happy

Have you tried both? Will the improvements justify the extra $$$.

Yes I’ve tried both, the 100-500 all too briefly but the time I had with it left a very good impression. I want one to replace my Sigma 150-600 but unfortunately my pocketbook says no for now

My plan for now is to watch the used market and sales and pick one up in a year or so for a price I’m more comfortable with. It would be great to have it now but it isn’t like the 150-600 from either brand isn’t a good lens.

Good luck, maybe when the RF Telephoto Primes come out, some folks will put their 100-500 on sale. Hopefully you won't have to wait a whole year either.
