The reason why I have chosen the 70-200 is because it is my opinion 
that it is more versatile then then 100-400. 

I realized that I do not go over 200mm too often. 
Also since I use manual focus quite often I prefer to brighter viewfinder 
of the 2.8 over the slower lenses I have owned.

Robert,
You find the 70-200 more versatile yet have never owned a 100-400mm?
Am interesting paradox. 
Your point of F2.8 is understood but if one were to shoot primarily 
at the F5.6-F11 range, the F2.8 does no good.  Besides, with a 2X TC 
the 70-200mm is not as sharp as the 100-400mm at 400mm, so why do it?
