Really depends on what you would be shooting that requires a 400mm. There is not much point bringing a 400mm if you're like going to be shooting at that focal length once or twice a trip..

If you need something longer than 200mm, I would think the 70-300L is a much better choice as a travel telephoto since it is quite a bit more portable. I was very happy with it while I had it but sold it off as it was a little too short for birding.
