Compliment, for specific uses. I think of my 500mm as a 500mm a 700mm and a 1000mm, depending on which TC I'm using. I'm now shooting at 1000mm 90% of the time, so 560mm doesn't sound like something that I need.

I think it'd be ideal for swim meets and a few such things. It's too heavy to be the second lens for someone carrying a 500 or 600mm. That honor still goes to a 70-200mm for me, with a 1.4x TC on most of the time.

1,000mm is addictive:
