I'll complicate the matter a little...

Don't forget, there's been a rumor of at least one new long DO lens coming soon. It's expected to be announced early-mid in 2018. Sorry if that adds any doubt to your decision, but I always think it's best to know all possibilities before making a decision.

A 600 DO would be pretty sweet for any birder, here's a look at the details of the rumor, Canon EF 600MM F/4 DO IS. Normally, I don't put a lot of stock in rumors, but when a company displays two different prototypes (one obviously not consumer ready and the other very consumer looking)... I suspect there is a good bit of reality to the rumor.  The more resources they spend on it, the more I believe the rumors, and it looks like they spent a boatload on this one.
