Nikon claim VR technology will allow a photographer to shoot three stops lower. If you can shoot 1/60 then with VR 1/8 (approx) is, in theory possible. In reality if you can shoot aeroplanes at 1/60 then you should still use 1/60 and be confident you would have a greater number of keepers. Panning would be easier as vertical movement is automatically sensed and cancelled out. Sigma produce a version of 80-400VR called 80-400OS. Perhaps you could play the currency game when you are in the United States.
