The Sigma is quite sharp, but that weight makes it almost useless at airshows, which is why I want the 100-400. If I only shot sports, I'd stick with the Sigma. But for airshows and BIF shots, it's time to go lighter. I'd look into a 500/4, but I don't do BIF all that often, so I can't justify the investment right now.
