That’s the heavier mk2, not the mk3

$6000 vs 1kg weight savings. Same pictures.

Yes, that 1kg makes a big difference.

To many people, so does having an extra $6000

By your logic you’d be even better off buying the ancient EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM. Same pictures even cheaper...

I don’t know how my logic says that.  Version 1 of the lens is 2.5kg heavier (basically double) than the III.  And you’ll be going far enough back that AF and IS will feel like old tech.  The II is still modern tech with a reasonable weight penalty and no optical compromise vs III or RF.
