Honestly, I'm still debating if I want another 600mm or if I want to go back to the 500mm. It's a tough call to be sure. The 500E would be like a feather compared to what I've been using. I told my wife that I think I need the 500 AND the 600, but for now I can't use anything until I can see out of this black eye again
Indeed Steve, Nikon has made the "500mm or 600mm " question even harder with the new FL models it seems -- both are uber sharp and hand-holdable so it really all comes down to personal preference. I shot the 500G for many years and never had much of a problem with it but decided to jump to the 600E for the reach and because I can still handle 8.5 lbs. That said, I have to say since I'm using my D500 more than I thought I would (over my D810) the 500 might have been the better choice for all-round general wildlife use. Since I now own the 600 though, I'm going to wait until Nikon update the 200-400 or see if Nikon release a 400/4 PF before making any decisions about picking up up a 500. Best of luck with the black eye!
