One gives compositional benefits, other gives more light and superb sharpness.

Deciding which one, is a tough question.

Can someone please suggest ?

Usage is mostly mammals, early and late evening and in very dusty conditions.

Does the 200-400 zoom sucks dust? How is the in built teleconverter, useful ? Not sure if I want to use the in built one and make it a slow F5.6.

Thanks.

200-400 . Super sharpness too and the build in TC is made of the same glass as the lens.

or go for the 500 / f4.

You didn't tell us what camera you use...
