To clarify, you have the 70-200 f/4 WITHOUT Image Stabilization.
Comparing 100-400 L IS Version 1 with Push Pull zoom or the Version II with rotation zoom?

I have the 7-200 f/4 IS II and it doesn't really matter which version of the 100-400 as they are both much heavier and bulky.

Sorry Trevor. 
I meant to ask Barry, the OP. 
We are similar. I too have the 70-200 f/4 L IS Mark II and Version 1 along with the 100-400 L IS Mark II. I did trade in the 100-400 L IS Version 1 Dust Pump towards the 70-200 f/4 L IS Mark II. All three are fantastic. I kept the original 70-200 f/4 L IS Version because it’s sooo good. 
My 70-200 f/2.8 L IS Mark II gets limited use as the smaller f/4 L IS options fit my needs for travel.
