Hi James, I think it depends more on if you need the 400mm end of the 100-400 more than the lens speed and improvement in image quality with the 70-200IS. Something else to consider is if you are shooting with film or a digital body, or plan to go to a digital body very soon. Some lenses are less good on a DSLR than on a film body. Some DSLR bodies bring out the worst in lenses like the EF 28-135IS or EF 17-35 2.8L. These two lenses are not the best available but for most film shooters work pretty well and produce images that are very good. Stick them on a DSLR and you may be surprised at how poorly they fair in terms of image quality.
