It's actually interesting that you say this because I had similar disappointments at a shorter focal length (75 f1.8 cropped vs. 45-150 or 45-175). I realize this isn't quite the same as your situation, but I feel getting accustomed to our primes makes it difficult to really love our zooms as much lol.

The 100-400 in particular is such a huge jump in weight (985g vs 520g for the 100-300), that I feel there's a pretty big commitment to this. Handling and shooting technique seem even more paramount.

(Then again, if you're coming from a 300 f4, then the 985g of the 100-400 is still a big reduction in weight hrmmm.)
