This was what pushed me to get the a6600, the autofocus on the fast Sigma primes is quite adequate, good even, and IBIS means I can do some video off-the-hand if I'm careful. The much larger battery was also a factor.
My use case also involves a fair amount of tripod work, and I even picked up a gimbal just recently.
So I'm glad that Sigma is making lenses which are cheaper / better for the price by leaving out OSS, because there are ways to not need it. If you figure OSS would cost another $200 per lens, which seems a little low but is in the ballpark, then with the Sigma 'trio' of 1.4 primes, the difference between the a6100 and a6600 is just about a wash.
