I'm not sure this is the whole truth. I suspect it's just the other way round: They must offer (similar speced) lenses at lower prices to create a place in the market and THEREFOR they have to compromise somewhere, be it build quality or optical quality or quality control. With Sigma, it has been build quality and/or quality control in the past. Their last offerings, especially the EX line of lenses, looks promising in this respect IMHO. And they have HSM (their USM equivalent), too.
