Thank you for your comments.
If I take the 150-600 into consideration then there isn't really a weight saving for me as that lens is only about 100g lighter than the 180-600. I don't have a Z9 though which is a chunky camera.
How are you finding the noise at high ISO, as the dragonflies in my nature reserve tend to be in the more shady areas? I would expect my usage to be very similar to yours, and I cant deny, 200-800 is a very useful range when the crop factor is taken into account.
Also I don't really know how much zoom I need, my longest lens is my 105mm macro, I started looking at 180-600 partly because of price and there were a few comments about 100-400 not being enough on FF for bird photography.
