Experience with Samyang 300mm or Tokina 400mm?

I am looking at options for small/light telephoto lens for indoor shows/concerts, to use with M6II. I usually use EF-M 55-200, but I was wondering about something even longer.

I believe Samyang 300mm and Tokina 400mm are the only native lenses that have a longer reach while in the ballpark in terms of size and weight (311 and 355g respectively, vs 260g). They are mirror lenses, and they are manual focus.

Anyone have experience with these lenses, especially in challenging lighting?
