you should expect the lens/TC combination to yield a sharper magnification of image than cropping and enlarging the lens-only image (to match the image size).
You must also be in GOOD light for a TC to be worthwhile !
In your above statement, you may expect it - but not always true - especially in lower light or for fast moving subjects.

yes, for 1.4x TC, you lose one stop of light. I generally make that up by increasing ISO by 2/3rds stop and opening aperture by 1/3 stop when mounting the TC. Shutter stays the same, so fast moving subjects will still render same motion as without TC.

Glad to see this is settled.
Nobody mentioned the Nikkor 1.25x, so I'll continue to use mine.

But, how about the speed and accuracy of your AF ?? And, upping ISO means your IQ is going down .....

of course, if your gear is inadequate to begin with, you may not be able to expect much. Just do not be quick to think there is not a case for TC's for the rest of us.
struck a nerve, have we?

yes, but versus cropping, where you are deleting 50% of your pixels and enlarging what is left...everything is a tradeoff

You can restore the pixels with software - it works quite well - IF you need them. It is part of computational photography or artificial intelligence.

Struck a nerve? No actually, I used to use TC's until I saw my images suffering in large prints.
And my lenses included the Nikon 300 2.8, 200-400 4, and the 500 4. If you feel these lenses are inadequate than I will have to agree with you.

yes, but whatever computational restoration you apply to one, may also be applied to the uncropped image, resulting in improvements to both.

hey, if using a TC is not for YOU, then simply don't use one. You cannot declare they do not have value for others who appreciate their utility.
seriously, why do you persist?

My question is. Why did Morris switch to Nikon after all those years with Canon?

It was Canon's choice, not his. He explained it all in his blog at the time.
