The 800L I really DO LOVE…. (it is my most used lens)
I believe 800L is still the King Kong of the Canon long lenses.
Anything else requires a TC to come close to its reach.
Granted, there are several ways to skin the cat, just that I do not think it makes much sense to be selling 800L in order to get 600 II. Ok, you might gain 0.5 kg weight-wise, and it is nice to have an f/4 lens for shorter distance to targets, if that is what your needs are. However, such 800L to 600 II swap will coast you a significant amount of money, and you will not make any IQ nor AF responsiveness gains. 600 II is one mightily sharp lens, but when it comes to an overall IQ appeal, I prefer 800L.
Again, this can be done in several ways, but if you already own 800L, then I believe it is better to look at lenses which would complement it for shorter FLs. For example, 500 II is a wonderful partner to 800L, and so is 200-400L, and probably 400 DO MkII as well.
The "problem" we the Canon shooters have is that there are several superb long lens options and combinations available today, and whichever one you chose, you are really not going to end up short changed by much, if at all.
