What do you think about the IQ of Tamron 200-500? I see very few review on this lens.

I have the same sources as you, never used the lens myself. It seems impressive for the price, I just do not like the bokeh much, and the CA is a bit high for a long tele. And of course
Lots of review of the Tamron actually, but trying to find them for the Sigmas, THAT is hard.
The Sigma 50-500 OS also has visible CA in the corners, but I like that it offers image stabilization. And it feels less of a "plastic toy" than the Tamron.
I think both are capable of good results at the long end, no idea about how they compare focus breathing wise. The Sigma obviously is quite a bit more expensive, but offers HSM, OS and a more sturdy feel.
I can't help you in your choice....
