I think I will be allowed to use my 85 f/1.2 before Christmas to test out to make sure it works allright and so that I can practice with it to get good shots on the big day

FWIW, this lens will not manual focus in CF4-0 mode until its achieved focus through AF!
In cf4-1 it will focus.
This is some odd behavior that you shoulld be aware of with this lens, confused the heck out of me for a while! I don't know about the other CF4-x options cause I never use them.
Also the focus throw is REALLLLLLLLLLLL long on this lens at least 2/4 of a rotation, so it takes a while to focus.
Just thought you'd like to know,

I keep hearing its so slow, but i guess i will find out when it comes
I ordered from b&h yesterday night at about 10:30 eastern and they still dont have a tracking number up on thier site. I got the cheapest shipping as I live almost right over the bridge in NJ, how long do you think the shipping will take?

Let me see, I just shipped something to NYC today and I'm in Princeton. Thay told me ground from this distance is 1 day! So your closer and we are talking UPS, I'd say you'll have it by New Years
Ya the focus is pretty slow by todays standards but its not terrible. If you shooting a colloege or pro Basket ball game then you better know what the heck your doing! But it won't be too bad. This thing is just a monster you won't believe how big it is till you hold. The first word will be, WOW Cr@p that thing is HUGE! Is just you'll have to get used to the few idiosyncracies with this lens, mainly being how FTM(full time manual) works on it and the thing is one solid peice of glass or so it feels!

I think the 400mm f/2.8L I rented last week was a little bit bigger, but thats expected from a fast telephoto prime. Ive seen pictures of this thing and it looks huge, but im sure it will still impress me with its size.Let me see, I just shipped something to NYC today and I'm in

And the 400mm f/2.8L had the electronic manual focusing, but it wasnt full time manual.

Your right the 400 is a monster, but you expect that of that type of lens. Trust me you won't expect the dimensions of this lens! But you will most certainly enjoy it!
