    B & H has a 200 f/1.8 on their used site... perhaps that would make the owners of the f/2.0 jealous. (perhaps not... I have no idea what it's IQ is like)

    Bryan's review says that it's massively "front-heavy", making it awkward to hold. It's also not going to have the amazing IS unit found in the 200/2. Someone else said it's a five-stop unit, and although I think Canon claims it to be four-stop, I have several shots for which IS was quite the savior, including one of the Seattle Space Needle, shot from 1.25 miles away at 1.3x crop, with a shutter speed of 1/13 and I find it to be a rather impressive shot. If I remember my math correctly, that's 4.5 stops worth.
