I fully intend to buy second hand. Buying brand new expensive lenses is a colossal waste of money and makes no sense.

Not always. I got the 100-400Lii for $1800 brand new in 2017 and now it costs $2400.... and am a happy user of it on the R6 now, where is focuses and IS-es better than on the 6D.

I think any shutter speed above say 1/250s in good lighting conditions is good enough without stabilization, isn't it?

i have taken decent shots using 1/60sec shutter speed, so 1/250sec should be reasonable.

1/60 is quite impressive with 400mm!!!!

1/60 ??? I get 1/8 sec handheld using (IB)IS with the 100-400Lii, so the 400 prime should achieve that as well.
