Yes, it's a great lens. The size and weight was reduced without really losing a single thing - and actually gaining in some areas - a little bit better in terms of sharpness, focus and stability performance, and general "packability."

Congratulations on getting your new lens.

What it does loose is why I stick with my EF II and that's the ability to fit an extender.

That’s true, and if I’d never bought a 100-400, I would probably have held onto mine. But once I got my first 100-400 (Tamron, since replaced with the RF 100-400), I never used my 70-200 with extender again. I used to use my 70-200 with 2X extender quite a bit. I definitely don’t miss the size and weight of that combination. The RF 100-400 is so wonderfully light and small. It’s quite liberating.
