16-85mm price rise, now what.

[Rocket]

Had my heart set on the Nikon 16-85, saw it a few days ago at £388, now i see its gone up to £429.so its off my list :bonk:.
I wonder if anyone can recommend a Sigma or Tamron that would be on parr with the 16-85.

Thanks..

Sigma 17-70, Tamron 17-50

Both are excellent.
