Thank you all for the inputs.

I am getting the 100-500. Both in this thread and some YouTube reviews agree it is much better than the Tamron. Another reason is that i will use it a lot for some school events.

My 24-70mm is already dead and needs repair. That is likely the next I will replace.
The hardest to decide is the old 70-200mm, which has been excellent for all these years. I see the RF version is lighter and smaller, which is very attractive.

I will still keep a 5D Mark ii, so may keep the 17-40mm a little longer, until I get a second mirrorless backup body.

This is my current thinking.

Makes sense. If you shoot school sports the RF 100-500 will be a gem. It's even sharp, but slower with the 1.4TC. And if the currend 24-70 is dying, well, get the RF. But consider selling the EF body for another mirrorless. Straddling both worlds may inhibit you in the future.
