I like TDP and don't find it too biased in favour of Canon - the owner just states that Canon lenses are in many cases better overall than the other brands and apparently isn't as mindful of cost effectiveness as the other reviewers so he just states "go for Canon".
Yeah but why do all his Tamron samples look like a joke? I mean his 70-300 VC looks like he smeared vasoline over it before trying it at 300mm. And same for the others. (and the much earlier tests on there, in general, are basically questionable since used a very weak procedure involving few trials some of which even used AF!! they did improve the procedure radically though since those days)
A side note, some sites refocus for edges and corners and some don't, some use targets near MFD and some a bit farther and some much farther, that stuff can make a huge difference. A lens might seem to have awful edges near MFD without refocus and yet deliver better performance in the field, on average, at a typical landscape distance and scenario, etc.
all that said, it's still certainly worth a look and a read, in addition to using many other sources
