Reg,
I owned and used the 70-210 but sold it after acquiring the 80-200. I
think there are others on the list that have also used both and may wish
to comment. I think the consensus is that the 80-200 is just an amazing
lens in an absolute sense and for the price. It is also made in Japan
but that is no issue.
The 70-210 is no slouch, it has a different character to the 80-200 but
not as sharp or contrasty, however it produces very appealing images.
Just looking at the shots I have here at home the 70-210 has a softer
bokeh, the bokeh on the 80-200 has 'edges' and may not be as appealing.
All subjective and depends on your tastes.
If you get the 70-210 go for a late serial number. The other thing to
consider is that the 70-210 is a one touch zoom and this may or may not
be important depending on your preferences.
Here is a shot with the 70-210 mounted on a Sigma SD14
