Verdict
Pick Model A if you prioritize consistent sharpness and a lighter build for frequent handheld use at 70-200mm. Choose Model B if you need the extended 500mm reach and can accept the smaller max aperture at longer focal lengths for the lower price. Model A stays the better choice if you value a fixed f/4 aperture throughout the zoom range and slightly higher used-market value.
