Moving an opportunity page layout to Lightning

We have an opportunity page layout with over 200 fields.  We're looking to place the sections on the layout into seperate tabs so it's easier to navigate. In Salesforce Classic we would have created a Visualforce page with tabs to display it.  Now that we're moving to Lightning, I am not sure which way we need to go.  I think need to create a Visualforce page and give it the Lightning look and fell. Is this correct or should we be creating components for each tab?

Hello, 

Craete a Visualforce page with AnjularJS which is supported for lightining.  and add the tab sections( AnjularJS) for this page.  make the check box avaliable for  salesforce mobile apps and lightining pages @ top of the visualforce page creation.  its should enable you to navigate a page both lightning ans classic as well. 
its easy and simpe way.  

else 

if you want do it in aura code create lightning compontent tabs in aura and add those cmponent in to lightning page. 

Hope its helps you.

Are there any disadvantages of just adding the Lightning style sheets to a new visual force page or existing one?

Hello 

Salesforce Lightning Design system is implemented for Visualforce as a CSS library that you would include in your VF page as a static resource. In the same way you could include any other CSS library as a static resource, you can do the same with SLDS.
As such, there is absolutely no dependency between enabling Lightning Experience and using the raw design system CSS.
The Lightning Design System website (https://www.lightningdesignsystem.com/" target="_blank)gives some quickstarts on using it for Lightning Components, web pages (most likely running on Heroku), and Visualforce (https://www.lightningdesignsystem.com/platforms/visualforce/). Where it describes how to use it.
Alternatively, you could go get the Trailhead badge which also walks you though using it in a variety of contexts. There is a project (https://trailhead.salesforce.com/projects/workshop-lightning-design-system-visualforce), which focuses specifically on using SLDS with Visualforce.

hope its clear

Thanks
