Indeed, but it's still not a welcomed issue. WD is very important for macro subjects. Couple that with the higher weight and cost and one would need to scratch his head thinking how the pros and cons of the new lens stand against that of the old one.

Depends on the situation of course. I think the weight difference is not really significant. So would the OS outweigh the WD? I've asked myself that many times debating if I should look at the Canon 100L to supplement the Sigma 150 non-OS. Still haven't come to an answer. On the Sigma 150 non-OS, I do often use it with a 1.4x TC to increase the working distance further, and/or for more magnification.
