JMDobson Offline Upload & Sell: Off

I was in the same boat as you and bought the VRII. I did so for several reasons.
1. Repairability. I knew I was going to keep this lens for a long time, and I wanted to make sure I could get it fixed when the worst happens.
2. Cost of ownership - If I ever needed to sell the lens, I would get a lot of my money back on a version that is newer. (maybe)
3. VR! I shoot video of sports, and with VR on and a monopod, I get footage that I am really happy with. Also, I find myself using the lens for other work, and I like being able to hand hold at slower shutter speeds.
4. I waited and got a killer price, so it was only a couple hundred more than the older version.
