IMO part of it depends on what you're going to do with your EF 135 f/2. If you plan to keep that (or sell & replace with another fast tele prime like the RF 135 f/1.8) then it lessens the need for a f/2.8 version of 70-200. On the other hand if you removed the 135mm entirely then the 70-200 f/2.8 would be a nice one lens solution for that range.

I currently plan to keep the 135 f/2  Also, if I Got the 770-200 f/4, with the money I'd save I could by the 85 f/2 and the 35 f/1.8 which would provide nice DOF at a variety of focal lengths.
