First of all there is a $750.00 price point difference. That should say something about the 2 lenses.
I use the 28-300mm 80% of the time and when I need to get out farther I use a 17-50mm. I use 35mm as a brake point.
Other than a 2x teleconverter that's all I seem to have time for when I'm in the shooting Zone.

Thanks JW Smith
That sounds like a good rule of thumb.
In my shot did my shutter speed get pushed down because of the 2x teleconverter

Exposure Time = 1/60"
ISO = 250
F Number = F16
I'm guessing it's because the Moon is so bright, 250,000 miles and moving. The Lens is pushed to the max at 300mm I should have backed off to 280mm,(daylight shade) slow shutter speed and stopped at /16 to save some detail. It was underexposed and I tweaked the Auto Correct in MS Office Picture Mgr.
Question: What settings and tweaks do you use???
ISO = 250

I use the Nikon 28-300mm 3.4-5.6 w/Tamaron 2x simply because I have to. It get's my D5300 crop out to 900mm.
Good shots @ 850mm but nothing I could publish.

On the Wide Angle issue I just step back until I get the angle I want or use my Tamaron 17-50mm, again it beats the 18-55mm 'Kit Lens'.

I use a Nikon D5300 w/18-55mm & 55-300mm. Tried the Tamaron 18-270mm and the Tamaron 2x Tele-converter. A really good all-in-One lens setup. Then I came upon a Nikon 28-300. WOW. If you can afford the 28-300 @ $700 it's the way to go. In the $300 price range it's the Tamaron 18-270mm for my money, both beat the "Kit Lenses."
