A similar question was asked not too long ago.  Any improvements will be negligible.

The Canon EF 400mm f5.6 L is essentially on par with the Canon EF 100-400/5.6 L IS II, so it is very good.  The prime is also much lighter and easier for handholding.

If you can find someone selling new ones it should be about half the price of the zoom.  You could save yourself even more money and by a used one.
