Does that rating make it lower IQ than the Nikon (Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G IF-ED VR)?
Ooops..? Maybe I made a mistake (6 weeks ago..!) getting the Tamron over the Nikon? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' />

Photographers that have used both the Nikon 70-300 VR and the Canon 70-300 IS tell that the Canon is noticably better, especially in the long end.
Likewise with people who have tried the Nikon 70-300 VR side by side with the Tamron 70-300 VC.
If we look at the lenstip reviews, they state that the Nikon 70-300 VR is better in the long end than the Tamron, and better than the Canon. this just points to a big flaw in their testing ways
You have chosen well, in my opinion (based on opinions and accounts from photographers who have used above lens "pairs" and sample images).
