I had the 2.8 IS before and sold it to get the F4 as I was unhappy with the sharpness below F4 and I can save a few £££ selling it plus benefitting from the 4stop IS on the F4 as well as increase sharpness and better flare control.
Well it came today (Thanks Kerso) at a good price of £607 before cashback and must say it's certainly slimmer than the 2.8, looks like a rifle barrel instead of a cannon now!
Results are super, sharpness is much better at f4 at both ends compared to the 2.8IS and the lighter weight is excellent for the bag.

(af point was zoom ring area)
I won't be missing the 2.8 much as it's mainly used outdoors where shutter speed are well above 1/200sec anyway and on the 40D high isos can be used freely so if it did come to it I can just bung on one of those.
Very happy 4L owner here
