You could just buy a more modern version of the Nikon 70-200 or 80-200. They're very good. Or a third party....

I did think about that. The 70-200 F4 would probably be a lot better and slightly lighter. Over all though, that is still heavy and doesn't offer some of the mirrorless benefits.  A more modern lens would probably be at least double or triple the investment which erodes the value I currently get out of a Nikon system, losing out on 2 of the 3 desires.

I also considered moving to full frame which would allow my to use my existing lenses for the same weight / size roughly but with more usable ranges, so I could probably cope with less lenses.

Those systems tend to require their own bag though. When on holiday I do carry a bag but I want to be carrying a light jacket, food, water and a camera in something that wont be a chore.
