Price-wise it appears somewhat in line with the Canon 70-300 L. Mind you, that one was a shock when it came out - back then, it looked like Canon was aiming to take out all the consumer full-frame lenses, leaving only L lenses and EF-S for everything below. Thankfully either the impression was false, or they reversed course shortly thereafter.
I wonder how this one compares quality-wise... it sure is large, and a 77mm filter for a lens in this class is a new thing (even the Canon L had a 67mm thread, and the Tamron a 62mm one, even though the Sony G displayed upward creep by using 72mm filters...)
