A big thank you to Steve (MadTuna) for your generosity (I'll give that lens a very good home) and to Terry (CometGuy)
The link you gave me was enlightening.

After much deliberation, cross checking and comparing I finally chose....(insert drum roll here)........

The Sigma AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG macro

While it's performance fell down at 300mm, it rated really well when used between 70-200mm. Much better than the other 200mm lenses on my list.
For a 300mm lens it makes a very good 70-200mm zoom lens.

Doug, the 50mm you recommended is next on the wish list.
