Naturally have read the sites reviews etc. but would like to hear opinnions from you who have used those. Is the some hundred euros worth to go for 600mm image quality wise or not?

Kinda tempted to have more millimeters since i also love taking images of moon etc. but then again if the 500mm is clearly winner on image quality wise then could easily live with less mm but better quality =)
Maybe some of the comments missed this. IMO there is no contest, you need to go with the Version 1 of the 500mm.
The 600mm Version 1 is a huge heavy lens. Over 11 pounds.
You do not much if any IQ. Most people would choose the 800mm over the old 600mm.

If you are talking version II, then that is a different story.
Get the length that suits you.
