Nice, I was just a bit surprised when I first looked at the "Puderbach" (what a cute name, powdercreek) sign. The letters are less sharp then I'm used to from my copy of the lens. So I tried to find:
Didn't find one, not a single from nearly 900 pictures. I had a bigger choice in the pictures of the Nikkor, but so far didn't find a better one and I consider that most of those pictures were taken without tripod and liveview.
When I compare the both lenses and their prices, I can only agree with your conclusion, except PZ's old "weather sealing" horse you guys still love to ride. With the Sigma, I got splashed by a real kinky wave of the Irish sea jumping over the quai, tripod and me - while the Arca head after that has one rusty screw, the Sigma at lower price than the Arca head didn't show corroded metal. I was soaking wet afterwards and the "calm corner" of the bay was no longer branded as calm. There were some drops in between lens and camera mount. Wiped them away and since two years it's just doing fine.

- pictures at f/4
- at ISO 100
- and with a shutterspeed around 1/1000
- where the light was not so poor I had to use ISO above 1000
- and the focus point was off center
- with contrasty things in it
- rectangular to the lens's axis and as a plane parallel (more or less) to the sensor.
