I tried both Canon and Sigma and didn't experience any serious differences, just the extra aperture. Since I was not using it for astro, the size and weight did matter more than the extra stops. Naturally, this varies with user purposes. In my opinion both are great lenses with a slightly different target segment.

Of course that the difference in the real world usage might not be that apparent compared to a direct studio scene comparison. More over if you did not look for that.

Still looking at the not great optical performance of the Canon, its "only" f/2.8 aperture and a very high price tag, it seems to be rather mediocre lens than great lens to my taste...
