This thread talks about the weight of the big lenses. Yes it is a significant issue, my first impressions of the 300VR are its bulk and weight. You don't pick it up in one hand to attach it to the camera body, its more a case of attaching the body to the lens. This baby weighs 2800g or so and the 500 weighs an extra 1000g.
My style of birding involves lots of walking over rough ground and the occasional long weekend trip to Scotland or England with friends. I think the 300VR + TC will be plenty to carry along with my bins and scope.
