I have both lenses: 70-200 F2.8 IS MKII and 100-400 MKII

70-200 F4 is a very good lens keep it and you can buy 100-400MKII for extra reach if BIF is of interest to you

IF not, or you need to recover some of the cost, sell the F4 and get the F2.8.

Bokeh is  much better at F2.8 compared for F4 especially for family

Be aware that 100-400 extends considerably and in public you will be very visible with a very white and long lens

(70-200 does not extend)

Weight is about the same.
