i though the ones i have seen overpriced. if i am going to pay 80% of the
price of a new lens, it has to be pretty close to perfect. the F* ones i
have seen aren't in that kind of condition. yes, i will miss the tripod
mount, but since i plan to hand hold the lens most of the time anyway, i
don't care much. it's the lens i intend to use for birds in flight. if i
want to get birds that aren't moving around that much, i'll use the
A*400/2.8 with the 1.7X AF extender.

Is there a particular reason you want the FA* version? I mean other
than you're looking to get a new one. I waited for an F* version
because it has the nice tripod mount. Even when the thing's not on a
tripod, that mount makes a wonderful handle.
