I've been looking at purchasing the XF 150-600 as my next lens. I recently sold my 100-400.

Searching for the best price, I notice that the Sony 200-600 is £400 less than the Fuji lens here in the UK.

Now maybe the Fuji is much better, but the Sony is a full frame lens and brighter. It got me to thinking is the Fuji lens overpriced for what it is?

Your thoughts?

The 150-600 is a superb lens, and having used the 100-400 previously, it’s my opinion that it’s a significant improvement over its predecessor, both in terms of reach and overall IQ consistency across its FL range. I have no experience with the Sony lens, so I can’t provide any comparative experience or data for that lens in comparison with the 150-600. While it’s pretty expensive, I think the price of the 150-600 is pretty well in line with what should be expected. Whether it’s worth the expense or whether the Sony lens is somehow a better deal is better answered by looking at reviews and drawing your conclusions from that. But I have zero regrets about making the switch to that lens a few months ago.

Sony 200-600mm is a fantastic lens and there isn't much that can be compared to it on E-mount.
But Fuji 150-600mm is actually 225-900mm. A lot longer reach.

No!  The focal length dose not change.  The FOV is different as we are looking at a crop when compared to full frame.
