Finally one of the responses suggested the new Tamron 70-200. Does anyone have advice to help me choose between the Canon MkI or a new Tamron?

I have not tried the Tamron, but by most accounts, it is closer to the Canon V2 than the v1. There are many reviews out there, e.g.: http://www.lenstip.com/375.1-Lens_review-Tamron_SP_70-200_mm_f_2.8_Di_VC_USD-Introduction.html
