Wise decision. Won't upset the bank balance either. Both those lenses give good results. I mostly use my FA 100-300 for game photography. I also have a Vivitar similar to yours (A version) which I haven't really used much on the K110 but now I'll give it a spin.
I bought my 100-300 off of another listmember some eight years ago and used it regularly, but my big complaint with it is that it is too slow, especially at the 300mm end. A few months ago I dug out the Series 1 (Mark's version 2) and started using that. It's an F3.5 max aperture throughout its range, so that is better, but it's manual focus (and a one-touch, which I don't really like) and non-A, so you end up fiddling wit the green button. Optically, though, it is wonderful, and the close focus ability is great to have.
Down the road I'd like an F2.8 zoom in that same general range, even if it means going with a Sigma or Tamron.
