Sport version is sharper. But it's waaay heavier (6 lbs vs 4 lbs).

Do you have experience with both lenses? Some reviewers say the Sports version is sharper, but others seem to say they are about the same and a few even claim their copy of the Contemporary is sharper than the Sports version.

I just got the 'C' version and it's pretty darn sharp... I'd have to say sharper than the EF-S 55-250 IS STM. I was able to get near-pixel level sharpness on the M6ii using DxO PL6, and even got respectable results with the Rexley 1.5x Kenko SHQ teleconverter wide open at 600mm.

The 150-600 'C' lens was even 'larger' than my impression of it from the reviews.... you're right it's a beast of a lens and needs a very large camera bag.  But I found it wasn't as heavy as I expected, and I was able to use it hand-held with excellent results - see the post at the link below:
