I had the EF100-400mm mark 1 a number of years back. I was always disappointed with it's lack of sharpness, I heard there was considerable copy variation and some were very sharp. The mark 2 version by all accounts is much better.

The RF100-400 may perform better than your current lens but you may need to consider that your 100-400 L lens may stand up to Antarctic conditions better than the less well constructed RF lens.
