I had both. Bought the 500 first and then the 600. Used the 600 most of the time. Birding.

You can never have too much reach for birding.

The 500 was handy, lighter.

are those mk1 or mk2? i have difficulty handholding my 600mm, can't hold it more than a few minutes due to it being awkward and heavy for me. i am not too fond of using tripod or monopod, either.
