Incidentally, Rick, I say that the 70-200 II is also the exception to the rule that primes deliver better IQ. In my experience with those three lenses, the 70-200 II delivers IQ that's at least as good as those two primes.

John, I would say that a person has to be a pixel peeking extremist to really notice the difference. The 70-200mm F2.8L II is that good. In some respects I think it gives a different feel than the 100mm when doing portraits. Lately I have preferred the 70-200mm over the 100mm for potraits.
