A 70-200 should be considered by everyone, it tends to be a heck of a lens. On this lens I'd probably pull the trigger on a Tamron vs the Sigma. Each brand tend to have one thing they are better at than the others to be honest. Like the Tamron has better chromatic aberration, Canon has better bokeh, etc. I love the build quality from the name brands personally, the weather sealing and build quality tend to make me spend a bit more money on them but the small brands are nothing to scoff at the quality is there they just aren't built quite as tough usually. I say buy for your budget because the differences are small, but I'd say go Tamron or name brand for this one.
