Can't comment on your adaptors etc but I've been using the 70-300L IS for travel ever since it appeared. Small, light, extremely sharp. You won't regret it. Mind you, the 70-200L IS is also excellent. Do you need the extra reach?

Need... eh, probably not. Would it be nice... ya. In theory the first real use would be in South Africa in Kruger National Park... I haven't had anything that goes out beyond (the equivalent of) 400mm so I guess you don't miss what you've never had... so ... uh... maybe? haha

That trip alone would make me lean towards the 70-300L as good as the 70-200 is I would want the extra reach, but I have no idea how either will work with the adaptors.
