Thank you all for your helpful suggestions and advice. I will take the 40-150Pro with me because otherwise I might regret it.

Two more suggestions:

Look at the Olympus EE-1 red dot sight.  It is great for when you need to get off a shot quickly and don't have time to try to find your subject in the viewfinder, especially with the 100-400.

Also, I have removed the tripod foot from my 100-400 and replaced it with a square RRS Arca plate, and I use an Arca clamp attached to my Black Rapid sling to carry the lens/camera combination.  This allows me to rotate the zoom ring without interference, while keeping the lens/camera slung horizontally.
