There is some debate about the 70-200 II outperforming this lens but on the small amount of testing that I have done on the D800 I can say that the 180mm is better. Well, certainly not in terms of AF speed but you know what I mean.
As for the price I managed to find the second version which had a dent on the filter thread and got it for 250 euros, so you can get it at a good price if you are not too fussy about the cosmetics.
And as far as I'm aware the optical formula has never changed so this lens has really stood the test of time.
