Does anyone have experience with the new Sigma APO 120-400 or 150-500mm DG OS HSM's?

I'm trying to decide between these two lenses.


400mm is almost 2 inches shorter, lighter, and has the 77mm filter thread (which I have a good number of).


500mm is obviously longer and I'm guessing will take better pictures at 400mm, but is longer, heavier and doesn't share a filter size with any of my current lenses.


Anyone have any first-hand experience with them?


(I would love to get a Canon 100-400 L, but I don't know if I can justify the cost... I'm more of a hobbiest at the moment).

I like my 120-400OS. Here is a review I did on it when it first arrived. http://www.photozo.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10970 ("http://www.photozo.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10970)

Hi,


I found a nice comparison between Sigma 120-400, 50-500, 150-500, and Canon 100-400 here ("http://www.juzaphoto.com/eng/articles/canon_100-400_sigma_120-400_150-500_50-500.htm).
