I have no opinion on the 70-300, but you may just buy a 1.4x extender for your 70-200 to get the extra reach. Or bite the bullet and get the 100-400 II when you can afford it.

Bingo.

Dont have experience with the 70-300, but it seems over duplicative of the FL of the 70-200 f2.8, albeit lighter. If you think you might need something longer than 200mm, the 100-400L II f4.5-5.6 would close out the list. And if you might need longer, the 1.4x extender seems to work with this in spite of the narrow aperture, but you will have to tape three pins on the extender.
