But you don't use the 2.8 just for shooting wide open. f2.8 provides more light for focusing and shallower depth of field which should give more accurate focus.
That said I have the 60-250 and love it. (chosen over the Sigma 100-300 f4 because the 60 end of the range lined up with the 17-70 zoom I usually carry and the bokeh of the 100-300 bothered me).
