I was wondering if anyone else felt the same way, or if the 200 f2 + 2x teleconvertor would have poor enough IQ not to bother.

I personally do not like the 200 IS + 2x extender. Even I think the image is sharp enough, there is a lot of contrast loss wide open. I guess you can stop it down, but then you are most likely to be better off with a 100-400 IS II. To me, the 200 is a specialty lens. Shooting it at f/2 naked is the strength of this lens, and that is how I use mine.

i do use my tc 2.0x III on my canon 300 f2.8II and works beautifully from time to time but i sure like to use my 300 by itself because the result turns out awesome!
