I had some bad results when I first got my PL 100-400. Turns out I was the problem. Not saying the same for you.
But here are a few things to think about...
Perhaps MPB had the lens because someone got one that wasn't so great. Sample variation, or maybe it got a hard knock in a bag, not something that would show, but the performance deteriorated.
Perhaps subject detect isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Try them both on a tripod is SAF with a single focus point on the head.
I too think the 150-600 is sharper, especially in the bill and teeth.
Also, do you have a filter on? If so, try it without the filter.
I tried it this afternoon on my OM-1 V1. No subject detection, no difference. I never use filters. Appreciate the input.
