I am ready to buy the 400, but today I found out about the Sigma 100-400mm. Does anyone have any experience with it? The review at Lenstip looks very positive, and stabilization is a big plus.

I can't speak to the quality of the lens, but I did consider it alongside the EF 400.  I eventually went with the Canon lens because I figured I'd be shooting at the long end most of the time anyway, so the half- stop faster lens appealed to me.  In addition there is no first party tripod mount available for the Sigma, and I didn't care for the third party mount that I looked at.  The IS could make up for that so the tripod mount might be unimportant to you.
