I can't speak for the 70-200 series. My choice was all price based as well as I am still a bit old school in regards to liking the less complicated. I like the older lenses that are made out of metal over the plastic that the newer ones seem to be made of. Just seems to feel better in my hands. I don't know how the VR would work on such a large lens but I have found that when I use the 80-200 it is in well lit situations and the shutter is fast enough to not worry about any vibration. I also have been using the tripod in lower light and again no vibrations to speak of. Cost of the 80-200 is half the cost of the new 70-200. Sometimes you get even better deals that make it even sweeter. Good luck on what ever you choose no matter what you will not regret getting either lens.</p></blockquote><p></p>
