Wait for Sigma 16-300 or just buy the RF 100-400?

Hello! Just for context I have an EOS R50 The said sigma lens which should be out by May could potentially replace my 18-150 and I really like the idea of a 2x farther zoom than what I have plus the ability to go even wider. However I also want a dedicated telephoto lens and I’m fine with maybe giving up 100mm of zoom for the Sigma versatility. The only thing that has me on the fence is the possibility that the Sigma won’t maintain good quality on either end of the zoom spectrum. What do you guys think?

Most appreciated, means something coming from you! My apologies for assuming for you were angry and taking a shot. 

Yes, to edit you have to be real quick.

I own a Canon R50, which I bought to complement my R5m2 in terms of a light, yet capable camera; one that I will have little issue in giving to a stranger to click a picture of mine 😄

I am currently in the process of deciding between the Canon 18-150 and the new Sigma 16-300 to upgrade it from the 18-45 kit lens. My only inhibition is that the Sigma is almost twice the weight of the Canon. Since I have owned the Sigma 18-300 in my 450D days, a part of me likes the overall focal range of the Sigma, but then another part of me wants to go with the lighter Canon, since weight is why I opted for the R50.

How do you find the weight balance and handling of the Sigma on the R50? Thanks.
