I'm selling my 200mm f2 and 105mm f1.4 because of this lens... really love this lens.
I have tried friend's 200/2vr for a few days and it was breaking my back. Case (CL-L1) plus lens plus camera (D750 fits in the case mounted on lens) was 5.7kg. Usability was poor (reversing hood which was really needed to protect big front element, mounting a camera to lens unlike reverse with smaller lenses). That lens was not fun, though results are nice.
Sigma 135/1.8 gets me 75% of the effect and it is easily manageable. I cannot imagine taking 200/2 for a landscape photo trip, but Sigma 135 was ok at that and I included it in bag (No 5. and 6. used Sigma 135, others were 18-35G and 50/1.8G).
I would have probably bought 105/1.4 if it were not so pricy, but I could get Sigma with promotion that made it just 55% of best local full warranty Nikon 105/1.4 price. Btw, Sigma has 4 years warranty here while Nikon only 2 years.
But now having the lens, I don't care about 105/1.4 much.
