For me, this realization came when I bought a 1DX, and I no longer needed my 24/1.4L and 35/1.4L. So I sold them. Turns out, I only used them at f/1.4 when I needed a higher shutter speed in low light, and rarely if ever used f/1.4 for DOF control (at 35mm and wider focal lengths). I still have the 50/1.2L and 85/1.2L II, because I use them wide open for DOF control.
For me, the 100-400L IS II will be a major step forward in usability, with significantly better sealing, AF, and IS than the Mk I that it's replacing. The slightly better resolution and apparent increase in contrast are also very welcome improvements, but not the main drivers for buying it.
The 100-400L IS II won't replace my 300/2.8L IS or 500/4L IS for most situations, but it will replace the 300/2.8L IS + Extenders for travel by air, when I want a long lens, but won't bring the 500/4L IS.
