This is great. I think the max aperture on the 100-500 is there to save us from ourselves. A lot of my bird and sport photos lack DoF at f/2.8 using the 70-200. Sometimes you "need" that extra stop indoor and at night and sometimes you really appreciate the shallow DoF with the busy background, but for most subjects the DoF based on f/4.5-7.1 I am thinking I am going to like more than tolerate.
