I have the 70-200 and a TC-2.0. I have gotten some "good" results so far, but I think its only my fault they have not been better. From my experience the setup you are recommending might be a little better than the 2.0. That said I have seen other peoples work with the setup you are thinking about, and I have seen some awesome results with birds.

As to the forum sheriff who was so fussy.... I liked your reply.

The small number (one) of substantive replies to the original post is the best evidence of how overdone this topic is.

The sharpness is good IMO, but maybe the reach is not enough for small birds. Here is a shot with the 70-200VR + TC17 (on a D200):

En esa gama de precios... ¡El Nikon 300 Mm F4 con un TC 14, o un TC17 le traerán gran alegría!
