People who use 500 do so because it is best compromise between all these lenses including 600 .

however, if you don't mind weight then it comes down to do you want f2.8 or happy with f4?  This question is slightly biased as you might also need length of 600....

the 200-400 is just for those that require flexibility at any one time....  And don't mind sacrificing the reach of 500/600 nor require more isolation than f4....
