From the review:

"I didn't expect the upgrade to be such a substantial one. While I can't say that image quality was dramatically improved, the form and function of this lens definitely were."

And the 1Ds3 might return to the lab!

The IQ is a bit of a disappointment if this is representative. I was expecting more improvement at 600mm. Rest of lens though is very nice.

It looks pretty good, IQ is definitely improved from the old version.

Might be true, but still falls short vs. the Sigma 150-600 C, which I believe was the strongest competitor.

I think Tamron over-shot their niche with this update. I look into it far more favorably if it was a $1,000 lens, like its true competition: a bit more CA / less contrast than the Sigma C, but better build, some small f/stop advantage in certain FLs etc, is a logical frame of comparison and trade-off.

TDP praises the added perceived quality of construction on the new G2, but...that is <40% more expensive...

You can get a far better build, faster focusing, true weather sealed, easily better optically at sub 400mm and equivalent if not better cropped for 600mm FOV, much more compact and with much more serviceable filter sizes, refurbished or used 100-400 II for that kind of money. At least that's what I did.
