Re: test pics from all three:

I think my words threw you off. I was mentioning the Photozone results.
I've never tried the 70-200 with TC so far but yeah, without the TC, definitely I see a lot of difference between the two on my T3 and yeah, my Tamron could still be a bum as well.
Anyways, from all your suggestions and very detailed analysis, I've finally come to a conclusion. If the price difference between the 70-200 F/4 L IS and the 70-300 L isn't much, I am definitely going the 70-300 L way, else I will choose the former. I think putting finance as the final stake holder is a reasonable way to finalize two equally good products, don't you think?
Once again, to everyone who took time to explain all the details at every little focal length differences, I really appreciate your comments and feedback. Thanks a lot once again. (^_^)
