I hate to say it Bret, but I always try to convince folks to purchase a 100mm Macro rather than the longer lens, I had both the 180mm and a 100mm and found that I almost always chose the 100mm for ease of use and the ratio of keepers that I was able to get.... I am currently shooting with the 180 coz my 100 broke, but I do miss it.
Having said all that it looks like you are doing well with your new lens...

I thought about the 105G and still mite If I find a good deal on one. I was using my 180 2.8 last year...late summer and got some good shots...but it just didn't have the macro quality and capabilities I like.

If you can find a good deal on the 105 you should consider it, you will find it much easier to work with handheld in the field... I am using a Sigma 180 which is an excellent lens, just not great for handheld work, the longer lenses have a much greater problem with motion blur that the shorter lenses do not have... Like I said, having shot with both I would take the shorter lens over the longer lens.I thought about the 105G and still mite If I find a good deal on one.
