No doubt more reach could be used in many situation.

I guess the same argument could be made for the EF 400 f/5.6 vs getting a 500mm lens as well

of course, if you can get a 500mm, it'll be better than 400mm--but this argument is about the usefulness of 400mm compared to 300mm for wild life! sometimes i use a 1.4x III TC on my canon 600 f4.0 II, which makes it about 840mm and believe me, it is not near long enough as it sounds but hey, if you have the budget, sky is the limit.

Thats the problem, dont have the budget for the big whites

It sounds like even with a 1.4x TC the 300mm would still be considered short for most wildlife even on a crop camera.  Maybe the 400 is worth another look.
