II also focus much faster and is not push-pull. Its a good upgrade, now I need to see what to do with mk I.

There is nothing wrong with the MKI.  It is a very good lens.  I used mine for years.  However, the MKII - IMHO - is a little better lens.  It focuses faster than the MKI and I think the MKII renders better color.  (I have several Canon "L" lenses.  The 100-400 MKII is the first lens that has really impressed me with the way it renders color.)
