Hi Mike, The EF 70-200 2.8L IS is not just about the IS! The IS version is sharper than the non-IS version and mode 2 IS is the bomb if you are a sport or wildlife shooter. I wish I could justify buying and EF 300 2.8L IS to replace my EF 300 2.8L non-IS but seeing how I'm shooting buildings and products so much lately I can hardly justify the expense. Sigh...
