Gaz,
I would go for 300 f 2.8.
I've owned both the 300 f4 and the 400 f 5.6. Good as they are, they are simply not in the same league as the 300 f 2.8. I have no experience of the 400 f4 DO though.
I don't have a problem carrying the 300 2.8, I can manage it quite easily on an all day yomp. I recently used it with the 2X convertor (all handheld) and can honestly recommend it big style.
See: www.pbase.com/mikenimages
Algarve section for examples of the lens' "walkabout" capabilities.
Good luck, Mike.
