Quick Macro question

I have both and both have advantages over the other. Need 1-1 and the 70-300 is a poor choice. Don't want to get a inch from your subject or want the versatility of both telephoto and close up and the 35mm falls short.

Aside from using both, I have run the Weekly close up in the summer for years. There I have seen just about every possible way to shoot a close up and there have been shots from people using a 70-300 that are as good as any posted. Honestly I think it is sharper in use as a close up lens than as a telephoto.
