Verdict
Pick Model A if you need a brighter f/2 aperture for low-light shooting or shallower depth of field at 200 mm. Choose Model B if the extra reach of 500 mm is essential and you can accept the one-stop slower f/4 maximum aperture. Model A stays the better choice if budget is a concern, given its lower used price.
