Hi Bojan,
well, there is probably no easy answer to this. If possible, you should maybe try out one of the candidates to see if it fits your needs.
Just a few thoughts about the 70-200/4 VR though: the price difference is not ofr better sharpness (as you mention, the lenses are quite close). But it is a lens with much better build, constant aperture and constand physical length. All this features require some serious engineering and probably more expensive materials.
In addition, the lens features a newer and better VR, faster AF, no focus breathing and a quite close MFD. You may of course argue if all this is worth a premium price (in general and of course especially in your case).
