70-200 F4 IS or 70-300 DO IS?! Which one would you get.

Oct 23, 2006

Looking into getting a longer lens than my 85mm 1.8. I know this is a very subjective question. And it depends what I am looking for. But I want to here what others think given that these lenses are essentially at the same price point. So which one would you get? 70-200 f4 IS or 70-300 DO IS?
