Now you went and did it ... the forum police will soon frown upon you suggesting something the OP didn't ask about, but I would make the same choice you suggested.
I did not want him to make a $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ mistake.

The 200-500 is sharper. You will like it.
I agree, I also have both and the 200-500 is much sharper.

A little late to the conversation.....I had the opportunity to pick up a used, 400 mm 2.8 VR G (pre FL) about 1 1/2 years ago that was virtually new, for a great price, with the intent of getting into action sports and wildlife. With limited experience using it, some observations: #1 Scary sharp, even with my TC 1.4 II attached. Undetectable loss of IQ. #2 Plenty of reach AND speed for any situation I have encountered, including soccer, basketball, boat racing, hang gliding, bike racing, birds in flight, whale shots and lava flows (we live in Hawaii). Amazing piece of photo hardware that I cannot ever imagine not owning. Good luck.

I concur with your assessment.

Thanks for the input everyone. Still in the research and decision phase! A lot of money no matter which of the primes I choose!
