Well, I don't really NEED the reach but it'd be handy. I just figured a $500 extender would be better value than a $2800 lens that I wouldn't use too often. There's only bee na few times I've needed the reach so far, but both times were a pain.

If you're ok with the Gen II extenders I think you could get the 1.4x version for less than $200.Originally Posted by Squidy

Do not buy the 1.4x version III. I am not sure you would even see a benefit from the new version III with your lens. I bought the version III when it came out and for the older lenses the improvement was negligible. If you had the newer 70x200 2.8L IS II then I would get the version III.
Instead see if you can find the 1.4x Version II, you should be able to pick it up for a few hundred.
And I wouldn't even consider any version of the 2x with your lens. The IQ just wouldn't be there.
