Hi, Gib,
My experience is that the 400,6.8 is a lot better. Although it is somewhat
large, it is easy to handle with or without the shoulder stock (I prefer the
stock). I find a 180 or 250 with the 2X extender difficult to use wothout a
tripod. Picture quality is better with the 400 although the extender is very
good.
