I'll buy one of these two lenses. I am indecisive. Does the 500f5.6 deserve the difference in price? Should I buy 200-500 if there is no big difference in image quality, focus speed? Thank you...

You may find the above helpful. From my own experience, I found the 500 5.6 to be excellent but I have no experience with the 200-500 so no comparisons. I would be very surprise if you did not like the 500 5.6. I use it hand held , no tripod and from a moving boat, on a z7 with great results.
