Nirofo - for you why does the Tamron stand out as better than the Sigma? ie: weight, clarity, light gathering?

I use mine mainly for bird photography from the car window via a purpose built window ledge and bean bag, or for flight shots, I also use a Nikon f4 500mm AFS. Whilst the Nikon has obvious build and image quality it is not as versatile as the Tamron and the photographs I have obtained with it so far are not that far behind either, certainly not £4400 behind?? I have also used various Sigma lenses which optically are quite good, however for wildlife versatility and clarity of image, I would go for the Tamron every time.
Here's a few images from the Tamron.
