You can rent the Sigma from lensrentals.com for a week, or the Tamron 150-600 from borrowlenses.com, and make sure you're happy before purchasing. Might be worth the investment.

IMO awesome lens for the money.  I haven't used the Tamron that has been mentioned, but wouldn't be surprised to hear people happy with this lens either.

I bought the Sigma 50-500mm on a whim when my cruise ship stopped off at Gibraltar and it was the best 'off the cuff' photographic purchase I have made and cheap(ish) £420
The quality and build is second to none IMHO
