You get what you pay for and considering the price difference between
the Sigma and the Nikon alternative it's hard to see why the Nikkor is
so much more expensive. They gave the Sigma an overall score of 38.5 -
compared with 39.0 for the Nikkor and Tamron equivalents.

Your assessment may be a tad harsh :-)

Which is to say that maybe you DON'T get what you pay for.
