I see the Tamron meanwhile as the better package, at least the second generation: The brake for any (not only just selected) focal length and the Arca foot which would cost another 200 € at the Sport are making the difference. The Tamron now also has a dock and believe me, it's complicated to adjust AF for ∞. Zooming handheld with the Sigma? Manual focusing without a tripod? You need very good luck...
But the foot of the Sigma is easily detached, it's just 2 screws to open.
We could also say, the Tamron G II is the result of the mistakes Tamron and Sigma did with 3 lenses before ^_^ I'm not counting Nikon's 200-500/5.6
I just don't know why you want after your 500/4 now the zoom. You're not wanting that 100 mm extra, do you? A crop from the Nikon will serve as well. Why don't you get another body for shorter FL? I found the lens change with the Sigma demanding and not so quickly done in the field.
