It makes all the difference in the world.
If you don't snap it, nobody will snap it for you ...

Brent,
I would definately go for the 80-400 VR (and did). But, if you are planning to use this lens inside the studio, the minimum focusing distance of 7.5' may make the 80-400 too tight and, therefore, the 80-200 a much better choice with its minimum focusing distance of 6'.
The VR feature is terrific on the 80-400 and easily compensates for the slower f4-5.6 v. 2.8. The wider 2x range of the 80-400 means less camera re-positioning and more flexibility for composition on long/tight shots...a big advantage.
Either lens will be a great investment...buy both!
Best,
Don

The sun shone today so I went off to the Wildlife Park with my D100 and 80-400 VR lens. Both these shots were handheld and zoomed to the maximum.

This will cause virtually no loss of quality either,since there's no glass in the extension tube. Even Nikon's old M-2 meter-less extension tube will be quite serviceable,although I would strongly suggest that the Kenko AF extension tube set is far and away the "best" set on the market,since it will preserve autofocusing,and full camera-lens communication via its electrical contacts.
it's a very,very easy way around the minimum focus limitations of lenses that have long MFD's. Maybe someday Nikon itself will get around to updating its extension tube offerings by offering something with full metering preservation.

Happy Shooting!

A simple extension tube will get your minimum focusing distance well,well inside 6 feet on the 80-400 VR, or the 80-200. If you're shooting with studio flash, any extension tube will do,as long as you do not need the VR function enabled.

Man - all great shots...I like the Bride Picture...
Is that blue Muslin?
I will probably just end up with a bag full of lenses - but my next 1400 or so is probably going to buy the 80/200 and then the next will get me the VR..
