Teleconverter choice

I would hesitate in attaching any 2x teleconverter to a Sigma 150-500. You will lose 2 stops of light (massive on a lens like this) and the IQ will be adversely affected.
Better to go with a 1.4x if you can find one.

Might get better results by just cropping.

Given the gear I am thinking of coupling it up to and that I am happy to accept only manual focus would anyone recommend the following teleconverter:
B+W 2x-Telekonverter * Pentax K * MC 7 * Konverter * converter PK
I can pick this up for 69 euros on a German website.
Any advice on the above or alternate suggestions would be very welcome.
