In terms of relevance, there are other options than sacrificing weight and a little bit of optical performance relative to the 500 F4 L IS II if the price tag is too high.
Both the 300 F2.8 L IS II with 1.4x teleconverter and 400 F4 DO IS II are optically in the same league as the 500 L IS mk I, but at a slightly shorter focal length and much reduced weight. The 300 II with 2X TC should be every bit as good optically as the 500 I with 1.4X TC, but the autofocus speed will take a hit. They both cost about 2/3 of a new 500 mk II.
I would consider the 400 DO II very seriously before the 500 I for wildlife / birds in flight if the price tag of the 400 DO II is within reach.
