Zoom or prime is irrelevant if the IQ and other performance features are as good as you need them to be.
Indeed, it'd be daft not to want a zoom (infinitely more versatile) if it was up there in terms of IQ. Wanting a prime because it's a prime makes no sense.
I think we stand alone on this one Keith. Like a lot of things in photography, I think the tale of 'The emperors new clothes' is one which should be remembered. I note another shot with the 100-400 got into the winning category of of the IWP competition and in my view the image should have been the over all winner. That's not to say the lens is better than primes....it just does the job and offers versatility as a worthy bonus. I find it difficult to understand why one would want to limit ones options:-O
