Background: I currently own a Canon 7D and a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM lens (and just incidentally, a Canon SX60 HS thrown into the mix as well as a Canon 5D MK III).
I can justify upgrading one or the other, but not both. The upgrade will probably happen in mid-2015.
So...... should I get the Canon 7D MK II or the new Canon 100-400mm L series lens?
Tough question.
The 5DIII and 7D are excellent cameras.
For more reach I wold go for the new 100-400. It is supposed to work well with the 1.4x and 2x converters according to the MTF charts and blows the socks off all other lenses in it's class period if the charts are correct. I have already sold my old 100-400 which has served me very well and pre-ordered the new 100-400. Still use my 10D and 7D and still love them. I adapted an FD 80-200L to use in the meantime.
