using the 1.4x versus cropping is the reduction in effectiveness of the stabilization shooting handheld. For landscape I found that distant detailed objects (pine trees in my case) are sharper at 500mm cropped since the stabilization isn't quite as effective with the TC attached.

Ahh glad you exposed that little detail. I thought there was something wrong with my setup like that when using the 1.4x on the 100-500 the other day. Indeed it is nowhere near as stable as it is without the TC on it. Guess there are times when that is important. Fortunately all the shots I took were still dead on sharp regardless. It just makes it a bit more challenging to keep the image steady while shooting. But it doesn't seem to effect the end result.

Exactly — I could still get sharp results, but it took longer waiting for that perfectly-steady moment to take the shot.
