As far as the rep...First, thank you for your post. As far as the replacement foot aspect, I chose Really Right Stuff for 2 reasons. First, it has a rounded top of the foot so that when carrying the lens by it, it is more comfortable in the hand. Second, RRS is a great company to deal with that make awesome products. I have had Wimberley's replacement foot before on an AFS II 600mm and it worked fine, but was not as comfortable when carrying as the RRS foot.<br /><br />As far as Bird Photography, it all depends on how close are you going to get to the birds and how big they are. If they are going to be small in the frame, then get the longest lens you can. The 600 weights a good amount more than the 500 and it is physically smaller too. I have pics of the 2 together (500 and 600 VR) on my flickr page : http://www.flickr.com/photos/grobarek/sets/72157613374242097/<br /><br />Hope that helps!
