Re: EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II vs EF 300mm f/4L IS + Ext. 1.4x III

I'm sort of in the same predicament myself. I'm going to view a Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM which is less than 2 years old and available for $850 locally.  Then I start thinking about adding a 1.4 extender to that.  The new version of the 100-400mm sets me back about $2K.  The 3rd option is a version 1 of the 100-400mm of which there seem to be plenty available in excellent condition and fairly new ( 3 or 4 years) at around $800.  I am thoroughly confused now and if any thoughts on those options would love to hear.
