I bought my 500/4L IS new in 2010. I see no need to update to the Mk II. It's possible that like Scott, I might go to the 600/4L IS II some day. I'd really be after the 800/5.6L IS reach, but the newer 600/4L IS II + 1.4x III is probably a good alternative, for more than one reason.
I agree with this, although I would note that proper technique means a lot. As Peter said in a recent thread,

Thanks for this - I borrowed an 800 from Canon to shoot cranes recently and I really am not wild about the f5.6 limitations. In good light and dead steady it was great. But for me, the lens was a lot to handle. I suppose if I owned it I could practice more and get better but again, this is out of my reach financially. Really, I think I should be putting all of this cash into home repairs, but ... this must be what a mid-life crisis looks like for a female photographer!
