I sold my ancient Sigma 70-200/2.8 (Remember that one, Cotty?) in favour of the 60-250. I was very fond of the Sigma in the film days, but with digital I frequently found the 70mm end a bit too tight. With the 60-250, I tend to use the ends of the zoom range, and the wide end of it has saved me quite a few lens swaps. At the long end, I'm not sure how much advantage the extra 50mm is over a 200mm, but looking further upwards, the DA* is good enough at 250mm to keep me from bothering with the DA*300 most of the time.
