advice sought - telephoto zoom for sd1

I'm looking at options for a telephoto zoom to pair up with my sd1

at the moment the only long option I have (apart from the 105 macro) is a 70-300 APO - which actually isn't too bad stepped down and kept below 200 - but I'm looking for something faster and higher quality

the 70-200 2.8 seems to be well regarded in other mounts, but I haven't heard much about it here

there's also the 24-105 but I'm pretty well covered in the wider part of that range

otherwise the 120-300 seems very nice, but I understand it's very large, as is the 50-500

can anyone offer views regarding the lenses above, and are there any other good alternatives?

my main interest is nature photography (usually with tripod), though I'm also becoming keen on the studio side

I don't need anything very long as I am set up pretty well with 4/3 stuff for that

future-proofing with sd quattro compatibility is not a big deal for me

thanks in advance
