Well guys, I just took posession of a nice new Canon 70-200 f4L IS USM, plus a 1.4x Canon Extender.
I decided on the f4 for a few reasons:
1) Every review I found says the f4 is superior in both resolution and chromatic aberation than the f2.8 at equal apertures.
2) The f4 has 3rd Generation IS, whereas the f2.8 has 2nd Gen.
3) The f4 is half the weight (not that that really matters)
4) I could get the f4 plus the 1.4x Extender for $400 less than the f2.8 alone.
5) Doug's images !!

Thanks again for all your advice, no doubt I'll be asking again about other focal lengths.......

Cheers,
Jason.
