Hi Rob, thanks for the advice.

I'm not a fan of the 80-400mm VR. I tried one out and went for the 70-200mm VR over it (much faster, sharper and generally far superior!)

Even if I wanted it, I don't think funds will allow the 300mm VR..

Are the AF-S versions much better than the AF version do you know?

I don't think I will need 600mm often, and if I do a 2x TC would give me f/5.6 at 300mm..

As for weight, I know none of them are light, but from what I can see, the 400mm is 6.3kg and the 300mm is 2.8kg - a fair difference!
