I have really, I mean REALLY sharp Sigma 70-200/2.8 Macro II. It also focuses very close, but because of optical formula it moves DoF in corelation with aperture value. It is not a big issue since in close focusing DoF is anyway too shallow, impossible to make reasonable photo. From f5.6 on macro area focus is on it's place, and result is extreme sharp.
I use it for two years now on my D700, very fast focus, very sharp already on f/2.8, very sharp using the Sigma 1.4x converter as well. I highly recommend this lens.
Just wanted to share an opinion that it is possible to find really good sample of this lens. For it's price it's a bargain.
