Advice for macro lens

I got some cash that's close to burn my pocket, so I better spent them before it happens

I have to options; an air conditioning for my apartment or a macro lens in the region of 100 mm.
No relation whatsoever between the two options, but I'm leaning towards the macro lens, as it will give me most fun (I think and hope)
If I get hot I have a perfect excuse to grab a cold beer or two and do absolutely nothing

So, with that in mind I have been researching for options (I'm using a Sony SLT-A77V) and I'm down to these lenses:
Sony SAL-100M28 AF 100/2.8 Macro
Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro
(Sigma 150 F2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro)
---
Tamron SP90 f/2.8 Di Macro
Tokina AT-X 100 AF PRO D 100mm f/2.8 (haven't been able to find a Sony mount in Denmark yet)

The two first mentioned are the ones I'm leaning towards, but at least her in Denmark there is a significant difference in price of the two.
The Sony is of course dedicated to the camera, but I have also read really good reviews of the Sigma, so...?

Here, with today's exchange rates the cost is about:
Sony £675, €806, $883
Sigma £405, €483, $530

The 150 mm Sigma is close to the Sony in price, but the focal length is probably getting too large.

Are there any of you gentlemen who have knowledge about any of the lenses?
