It's got a lot to do with the 1.6 crop Robin, you end up with a "equal ish" quality image after cropping the FF. I don't have one of the big 500mm primes anymore due to portability/flexibility so the 1.6 gets me back some of the reach i lost, it is very much a game of balancing your set-up to work well together.
....That's right - And also balancing your set-up to work well with you personally. That's primarily why I am selling my Canon 300mm F/4 L IS and 400mm F/5.6 L and buying the new Canon 100-400mm II. When out on walkabout, I too often have to swop those lenses (birds and butterflies) and also I want the closer MFD which the new lens offers. Some users are saying that bare (without extenders) it's as sharp as the 70-200mm F/2.8 L and that's really saying something! 7Dmk2 + 100-400 mk2 isn't going to make me a great photographer but it will further enable me and I'll miss far fewer shots.
Anyway, I wish you all the best with a replacement 7Dmk2
