You might look into either the 100-400 II/1.4x or the Sigma 150-600 C. I own the 100-400 and I've tested the 150-600 a few times (including doing a head-to-head comparison), and I found their image quality to be very close. You lose full weather sealing, and the AF and IS aren't quite as good, but you gain a little bit of light, a little bit of reach, and you don't need to bother with a TC. The Sigma also works a bit better with in-body lens corrections.
