I was comparing the 500 vs 600 like most people do and I agree that the 500 with the 1.4 is much lighter and hand-holdable as compared to the much heavier 600mm. Most people seem to use the 500mm with the 1.4X extender anyway, so if the 600mm is lighter like the new 400 II, then that may tilt the scales in the 600
