You are welcome, that is what I would do myself. Regarding the weight, "noticeably heavier" is something kind of subjective so to be more precise the weight listed for the non-L (I am not totally sure this is your lens but gives an idea) is 630 grams and 1050 grams for the L. This is about a full pound difference, a lot for some not so much for others. About the new one, I've heard about it but haven't seen any tests so far. But as it is so new, I would say we cannot conclude in the very short term how better it is relative to the one you have. In reality, I don't have any experience with the 70-300s as I am happy with the 70-200 and for me the natural progression would be the newer 100-400L (again noticeably heavier).
