AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm VS Tamron AF 200-500mm

I don't need either lens right now, but I am here seeking advice in which camera lens to eventually purchase. I'm am thinking of either the Nikon NIKKOR 80-400, or the Tamron AF 500mm. Both lens seem awesome, one is quite expensive, the other isn't as much, one is 400mm, the other is 500mm, but I'd like some suggestions please.

AF-S 300mm F4 or the older AF model with a 1.4 converter...

I have the AF-S 80-400. Fantastic lens, very sharp open wide and AF is amazingly fast for a consumer zoom lens
