...by which measure the 70-200 / 4L IS "equals or beat all of the primes in that FL range".

...i don't think i'd be thinking about 135 f2.8IS (i suppose you mean 135 2.8 L IS)...

No, not 135 / 2.8L IS.  Think a 135 / 2.8 IS along the same lines as the 35 / 2 IS.  So, the 135 / 2.8 IS would compare to the 135 / 2L in the same way that the 35 / 2 IS compares to the 35 / 1.4L.

...that is coming from someone who had the 70-200 f4.0IS (and has 13-14 other "L" lenses) for the last 6 years and lost it very recently
