Would you consider the added weight and expense of the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM unnecessary?

For many, the f/4 aperture is all they will ever need and the lighter weight and lower price are big pluses. As a pro, however, the f/2.8 aperture on the 70-200 f/2.8L IS II is absolutely necessary. I cannot count the number of times I've shot speakers at podiums, sporting events, portraits, architectural details, etc. at f/2.8.
