Curious, so I had to research ...
Sigma 50-500, $899, weighs 4.19 lbs
Tamron 150-600, $1069, weighs 4.3 lbs
Sony 70-400, $1598, weighs 3.31 lbs
Canon 100-400, $1699, weighs 3.04 lbs
Nikon 80-400, $2296, weighs 3.5 lbs
As for the autofocus speed that Mike mentions, I didn't really notice many conditions where I had any trouble with that. Shot a ton of soccer action photos with it, but that was in usually good daylight conditions. Worked out for me. Think I paid around $1100 for it and sold it for $750 a few years later.
Whatever floats your boat they say. :-D
