I agree with you Mark. I own the 70-200 f/2.8 IS and the 100-400 IS lenses. I use both, but I use the 100-400 four times as much as the 70-200. I shoot 100% on a tripod. I don't find the push-pull easier, just different. If I had a choice, I would choose the twist action of the 70-200, but it's no big deal.
