There is no noticeable image degradation with ec14 and 50-200. There is some using it with the 50 macro at infinity but none in the macro range.

A 1.4 TC takes the resolution down to about 70 percent of what it originally was (if the TC is very good). In a side-by-side test with and without TC at the same subject magnification, that's likely to show. Have you done any such testing? If so, are you willing to share the visual evidence with us?

I'm a little surprised by the difference in file size, but pleased that the ec14 has no (measurable) transmission loss.

Not sure I follow you here. Could you please explain exactly what you did and which is which. A small problem when judging the results is that I can't watch the original file, only the DPR 1:1 view, which is not the same as "view original" (the former does not guarantee the same quality as the latter).
