I can't agree ! :)
The 70-200 2,8 is a L lens, which is very used by pros & serious amaters.
It's optically (far) better than the 28-135IS they are not in the same
range. I think that for the 28-135 IS and a futur 70-200 2,8L IS, there is
no overlapping at all.
And overlapping is not a really problem. For example the 17-35L overlap with
the 28-70L buy nobody who wants to have one of such a lens, will not buy it,
because they have already the other one...

A _good_ 75-300 lens is a piece of equipment very hard to produce (I think).
And perhaps the only way to make it, is to use great advanced technologies,
and certainly to use the same material that in an L lens. Therefore the
75-300 is the entry level and the 100-400 L The pro level.

All good lens are pricey ! :(
