Night and day. 1 is a push pull zoom, 2 is not. 1 is fairly large, 2 is fairly compact. 1 is a really good lens, 2 is a fantastic lens. They are also different shade of off white. The only things they really have in common are, made by Canon and focal length. I sold my original version so I could buy the new one.
Also, the II ver. has, as part of it's design parameters, the ability to work extremely well with the ver.III extender.

You didn't mention if you had a full frame or a crop sensor camera. If a crop sensor (eg. 7Dii), a used 300mm f/2.8 would give you in effect a 480mm. I've bought a use lens from B+H with a 9 rating and it works super on my then 7Dii! Unfortunately, I'm now using a full framed 1DXii and so that 300mm is now a true 300mm so I needed to invest in a used 400mm. One more thing. I believe these lenses work better on a full frame than a crop sensor unless you get a lens specifically made for use by crop sensors.

IMO, the BEST you can do on a budget is a used Canon 400mm 5.6 prime and the 1.4X II extender. You will need to be using an f8 enabled body to get to 560mm - about $850-900 if you shop hard. Light weight and fast focus !

I agree completely. This lens is sharper, much lighter, smaller and better built than any budget zoom. One of Canon's best.
