No, it will be around 750$.
With that initial release price I am expecting sales price around 550$ during next christmas.

Exactly. 2 years after launch of current Tamron 90mm macro price was at 60% of the initial price. Two years after that it was at 40% without special discounts. I never bought it because I already bought Pentax FA 100mm macro for almost double price. When I had a chance to compared those two lenses I noticed that there is no big difference in IQ.

Maybe it will be close in terms of quality, but Tamron will be much cheaper and that is significant gap for me.
FA 77 is my most wanted lens for years but it costs 900 euros in my country and it never got any discount not even for 1 hour.
Contrary to that Tamron have better prices and frequent discounts and I hope I'll buy 85 f/1.8 during next christmas sales probably for the half of the price of FA 77. Until than I will continue to use my good old Takumar 85 f/1.8 :)

What kind of race?
I am not interesting in financial results, I am interesting in good lenses.
Tamron has a technology for a long race with Sigma and use it very well in their products.
Maybe I will sound to someone like a heretic but almost every new Tamron lens is overall better than similar Sigma lens.
Most of the Sigma hype is based on marketing of word "ART" and sharpness only. That's not enough to be better than Tamron.
I was truly enthusiastic when I saw that new Pentax lenses are rebaged Tamrons.
