You’re very correct that the f/2.8 is very heavy.

OTOH, there’s a limitation to the 200mm length and if f/2.8 isn’t so important to you, then your comparison should be the 70-200 f/4 vs the 100-500mm L.

RF teleconverters are very expensive and using one to create a 400mm f/8 lens doesn’t make much sense anyway.

It's also impossible. The RF 70-200s don't take the RF extenders. At least the F2.8 version doesn't. Does the F4 version?

I don't think either RF 70-200 will work with extenders (back element is too close to the back end of the lens).
