That's the whole worry. If I do it, then I'll upgrade to the 600mm f/4L IS II. The math is $13000 for the lens and $6800 for the body, minus $6000 for my 500mm and maybe $1000 for my 5D MkII. That's a stout differential.
Lower noise and higher dynamic range will be huge, BUT the cropping down to 50%, which is quite common, might not cut it. The AF looks sweet, as does the 12-fps in RAW, but...
As you see, I'm still on the fence and have months to think about it, but, even price no object, I might not do it.
