Hard to answer, really. I used a 80-200/2.8L for a few years and have just bought a second hand 100-400. I can't yet tell you my opinion on the 100-400, since I have hardly used it. I found the 200mm end of my 80-200 too limiting on several occasions, but you can't use the 80-200 with converts :-( A shame, since it's such a great lens! One option would be buying the 100-400 and instead of buying a converter, buying a second-hand 80-200. They're cheap and have an image quality equivalent to that of the 70-200. If you decide that you don't need the 80-200 or want to buy something else, you can always re-sell it without loosing money. I very much doubt that a 70-200 + 2x converter matches the quality of the 100-400. I never seemed to need IS on my 80-200, since it's a pretty fast lens, but that depends a lot on what kind of photos you take. There are no definitive answers, but I hope this suggestions helps.
