In case you were wondering...

I ended up going with the 70-300... DO.... 
I was fairly sold on the 70-300L... but frankly.. the size and weight... it went against the whole reason I was getting a 70-300 in the first place instead of trying to shoehorn my 100-400 in my carry-on bag. The 70-300 DO seemed to have reasonable IQ with a VERY compact size and reasonable weight, and that's the magic combination. 
I'd never pay $1400 for a new one but picked up an excellent conditon used one for about $600. I haven't received it yet but will be curious how it stacks up against L lenses in real life.

Will report back when I get it in!
