I wanted one of these so bad when they were in stock at my LGS. I should have made that happen. I've wanted a 500 period since they came out... But still don't have one. Almost bought a used 8" 500 locally for $850 last month, but ended up with a 329PD because I didn't want to pack a huge hogleg around while backpacking. Had the 500 been a 4" model for that price, I would have bought it. That's the one I want anyways.
I can't imagine even the 500ES being any more BRUTAL to shoot than the 329PD is. OUCH!!!
