Sigma mc-11 vs metabones

I've read that the sigma mc-11 supports some advanced af features that the metabones does not support (lock-on af, eye af, PDAF on video mode). I was very excited about this but then I've read this article by Brian Smith http://briansmith.com/sigma-mc-11-smart-adapter where he has a list of compatible lenses. Some time has passed and I know there was a firmware update, so I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on which CANON lenses work with the MC-11 with all the advanced features. I have a 28mm 1.8, a 50mm 1.4 and a 85mm 1.8 that work perfectly for stills with the metabones (although many features are not supported and they don't have PDAF on video mode).

I've never used the metabones, but the mc-11's autofocus feature is a beast. I use it on the ronin with an a6500 and it works super well.
 
I use the Sigma 18-35mm/the canon 50 f1.4/canon 85 f1.4 and I think I used a tamron 28-74 with it as well....oh and a sigma 24mm f1.4. It works great on my FS700 as well, and I purchased a B-Stock or re-conditioned one.
 
Sigma AFs only with recent Sigma A/C/S lenses in video. Same with supporting advanced photo AF features. Otherwise, it acts like an LA-EA1/3. Metabones will AF with almost any lens in video in Advanced Mode. Works on my Canon 100/2 and Sigma 8-16. In Green Mode (default), it's also like an LA-EA1/3.
