I would add an extender to your 300 f/2.8IS II before an antiquated and very heavy 600.

The 300 on a 1Dx and 2x extender.

All of my shots are with the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM + 2x Extender III with the 5DIII or 1D X.

already have the 300mm, 1dx and extender.
RE the weight, as mentioned this will live on a monopod and only get carried 50m from the carpark to the sideline.

it depends on the condition of your arm muscles, a 300 f2.8+2.0 III can be carried by hand all day without having muscle spasm. i hand carried mine all day visiting SF zoo with minimum painful consequences.
