if you mean for canon to add IS on 400 5.6, you'll be looking in the range of $3K, if not more! but it'll still be worth it if IQ stays the same! but that will not happen because it'll kill the sale of expensive 400 and 500 primes! so, lets say only canon knows what they are doing and what is good for their pockets, not us little guys

Why do you think Canon will charge that much more for adding IS to the 400 f/5.6?
I would expect an increase in the neighborhood of $400-$500 (consistent with the bump from original to version II of the 100-400) when combined with other improvements.
After all there are Canon lenses with IS that cost less that $300 in total.
