And why not the Tamron 70-300 VC? It is sharper and more contrasty. Its 200-300mm range is less soft. If is fine for you to decide on ANY lens, of course, I just do not understand, for the moment, why you seem intent to avoid the Tamron, a lens which offers better IQ at the long end.

I do not intend to avoid the Tamron. It is just that from the reviews that I have read so far I am not convinced that the Tamron is better than the Nikon. My overall impression is that they are more or less similar, at this stage.
