You're probably right. My 50-200 isn't a bad lens, it's just that my 55-300 is quite a bit better. So much so that I haven't used the "little brother" the last couple of years, and now that I have the 18-135 wr as well I don't really have any use for the wr part of the 50-200 either.
The 18-135 is another very nice lens, btw.

Yep, I wouldn't worry about the plastic mount plate. But the quick shift is very nice to have at times. But by all means, I'd take the DA L over the 50-200 any day.
So: HD DA 55-300 WR > SMC DA 55-300 > DA L 55-300 > DA 50-200 WR

I have both, and my 55-300 is notably better than the 50-200 wr at every focal length and aperture. I would definitely recommend the 55-300 of the two. The weather sealing is the only point the 50-200 wins IMO, and it is somewhat smaller in size.
