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

There is definitely a night and day difference between the original and the mk2.  I am very encouraged by the progress made and who knows, maybe the tech will catch up to or even surpass conventional tech in the next gen.  One thing I find interesting is that a lot of the bench tests I have seen rate the original 400mm do quite well, sometimes even above lenses that I get better results with in real world photos.  I'm pretty sure the optical bench tests aren't telling the whole story when it comes to DO based on my results.
