I do like the push-pull mechanism of the first version, however, and am a bit concerned by how quickly and smoothly the rotary zoom mechanism will work when I need to zoom and autofocus as quickly as possible...

The new version (I didn't own the 1st) has an adjustment ring so you can decide if you want the rotating zoom to be smooth and easy or stiff and harder to zoom. What an amazing idea. I use that 2nd version on a 7dmk2 (though on the dmk3 it's great too) and it is amazing.  i miss the 2.8 a little but it's great.
