Looked at the 200-500, Sport, Contemporary and the original Tamron. Ended up with the Sport - it produces visibly better images than either the Contemporary, the original Tamron or the 200-500. I've only shot a couple of pics with the Tamron G2 and found it to be just as sharp as the Sport, btw.
I've been using a 600mm F4, but wanted something portable that did not require a tripod. Sample hand-held image below, shot at 600mm this past Wednesday.
I agree, the sport is sharper than the 200-500. Rented the Nikon ended up buying the sport.
