I don't see much point in repeating the test ... if the 100-300 does any better it will win the comparison outright. As it is, I don't see the difference being enough to spend the megabucks.
Of course, reach is not why you buy the "pro" lens combo .... it has other attributes, like better subject isolation at short focal lengths, and of course conspicuous consumption
I see a noticeable difference between the 100-300 and the other two lenses. It's not as sharp in the center and especially the edges. If you are into shooting outdoors in poor light the faster lenses will give you much better photos in terms of IQ, noise reduction and better focusing. I'm not planning on buying the 75mm or the 40-150mm but I can see why someone else would.
We weren't really debating lens speed ... but yes, one always pays a lot more for speed at long focal lengths. And it is well worth it if you spend a lot of time shooting in low(er) light.

We're Noct messing around with this review.
