What lens(es) are you anticipating the most?

Pretty much with you on this:

• AF-S 135/2
• AF-S 300/4
• AF-S 400/5.6
• AF-S 100-400/4.5-5.6

All preferably with VR.

The present AF-D versions are well due for replacement and overpriced to Canon versions (which all have USM) - e.g. the hopeless 135/2 DC (can't AF, soft till stopped down, only good for a portrait lens) is around $1300 compared to the EF 135/2L USM at around $1050.

Nikon don't seem to want to do affordable and decent long or sports (with the exception of the 70-200 2.8 VR II if that counts).

Mind you, Canon aren't exactly rushing to renew their aging models either but what they have is still better than Nikon in this area.

If I shot wildlife or high school sports (e.g. basketball) I would seriously think about getting a Canon 5D3 or 7D to fill that role. (as another system)
