i have the canon 300 f2.8 II and i find it an amazing piece of engineering. it lighter than the model you have described, the optics have been rearranged than your model so the weight is distributed more towards the rear, which makes it perfectly balanced. i visited san francisco zoo a few years ago and held my rev.II in my hand all day, hardly felt the wight that much.

now i use my lens with TC 2.0x III mainly for birding, all the time and they work together very nice together, hardly any hit in IQ. but as you said, for someone who has smaller budget, the rev.1 would be perfect, still the same quality lens!
