This also mirrors my experience to a certain degree. The 2x t/c just won't cut it on a zoom. The 1.4x is acceptable on my 70-200's but the 2x only goes with the primes.

I have to disagree with you on this the 2xmk2 tc on the 70-200 f2.8 IS L will give images as good if not better than the 100-400, I know I have owned both combinations and the 100-400 went.
That's interesting. I've been contemplating a 100-400 to add to my bag as I am not 100% impressed with the 70-200 with a 2x. Sounds like it may not be worthwhile.
I think I've just been spoiled with the IQ of the 500.
