I had compared the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 vs the Tamron G2 70-200 f2.8 and ended up buying the Tamron as I felt like the AF was a bit faster and more accurate.

That is interesting, intriguing, and concerning...although I ruled out the Tamron as I cannot stand focus breathing, unfortunately.

Focus breathing can be a nightmare for video obviously, but when is it an issue for stills? I used an EF 100-400L II for years, now replaced with an RF 100-500, both of which exhibit major focus breathing, but in practical use I literally never notice it. I know it's there mainly from calculations of the focal length at close focusing distance, not by seeing it in the viewfinder.
