Re: I'll complicate the matter a little...

While lighter weight and shorter length would be welcome in a 600mm f/4 DO I don't imagine the diameter of the lens will be any different from the current 600mm f4 and I expect the price to be quite high.  Also though the 400 DO II is way better than the original optically I'm not 100% convinced that the DO technology is quite up to the conventional designs though it is getting closer.  I have a feeling the rumored 600 DO wouldn't be a real option for me.
