40% price increase compared to the old Nikon AF-S 80-400/4,5-5,6G ED VR.

I'm sure this one is better, but is it 40% better?

Honestly, yes.

It's better looking, it performs better @ 400mm, and it has a better reproduction ratio .38x.

In fact, for me, because I shoot butterflies, and because the reproduction ratio of the Z 100-400 is literally nearly twice as close as the 80-400 (@ only .2x), that alone justifies a 40% increase in price — because it's more than a 40% increased in performance.

Your use case and mileage may vary ...
