I'm ok with used. We have a similar shop here called Samy's Camera and I've been browsing. It's actually the same place where I rented the 100-400.

I'm not trying to talk you out of the 150-600. I'm just highlighting the weight consideration.

I'm used to hauling around my camera gear and have a tripod with me most of the time. The Sigmal Sigma 150-600mm has a weight of 4.25lbs. By comparison, the Canon 100-400 weighed in at 3.61. I'm more concerned with my Manfrotto Befree tripod as it was struggling to keep still with the Canon lens installed to my 80D.
