The 300/4 is a nice walkabout lens and takes a 1.4tc with little loss. Its a hard call as both are so nice in there own right.What lenses have you already? if its just a general use lens your looking for that will cover a few opportunities such the 80-400vr may be a better choice.If I were going to stack one against the other I would say that the 70-200 is a faster and marginally sharper lens than the 300 and you could increase the focal length of the 70-200 with one of the range of TC's from NikonIt really depends on what your subject is going to be</blockquote>
