Without commenting on the various photos shown on this thread, I find that my 100-300 is sharper at full zoom than my 50-200 SWD +1.4 TC. My 50-200 without the TC is an all around sharper lens than my 100-300 at any common zoom level.

Edit: I can also hand hold the 50-200 at least 1 stop faster than the 100-300.
