I shot some comparison images with this lens and a friend's canon 70-200 f2.8L, and couldnt see a significant difference when printing at 18" by 12". If the OS version has similar optics then you should be getting a very good lens for your money.

Thx for that Gordon yes i have the budget Sigma 70-300 APO DG Macro 4-5.6 non stabilised its ok in very good light but as you can imagine very poor when the light falls off, or at the longer end just can not work with it on my d40
I'm definately going for the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 EX DG OS My D5100 comes with a 18-55 VR lens and my current 50mm prime is manual focus only so im gonna get the AF-S version. Maybe sell my 50mm, Sigma 70-300 and kit lens for my D40 and get a little money back. i will have 3 lenses then for both cameras.
Problem sorted thanks guys.
