I've had one for quite a few years and am very happy with it. It is my most used 70 and up zoom. I also have the 70-200 2.8 FL but it is way too heavy for general daily carry around use, it is reserved for special times when the 2.8 is desired. I've done some A/B comparisons with mine and while I can see enough differences (by looking very closely) to keep the FL lens, if I could only have one, it would be the 70-300.
I have heard so much good about the 70-200 2.8 FL that I am surprised you would choose the 70-300 over it.
