If noise in your images is a factor, it makes sense to move to the newer 7D Mark II. I wanted cleaner OOC JPEGs at ISO 3200, plus a second memory card slot, and the 7D II definitely did that for me. (My evidentiary/forensic/crime scene images must be uploaded into a proprietary program, with no post-processing, therefore the desire for cleaner JPEGs.) The flicker reduction feature was an unexpected bonus, as it helps not only with the lighting aspect of exposure, but delivers images with more-consistent White Balance. (Much of my shooting occurs in mixed lighting, with one flickering source, and one or more non-flickering.) The better AF, including the ability to AF at EV -3 with f/2.8 lenses, was an expected bonus.
I have used neither version of the 100-400L, so will not comment upon the lenses, except to say that the Minimum Focusing Distance specification of the II, alone, makes it a no-brain-needed decision for much more of my shooting. Of course, sometimes a very good deal on a clean, pre-owned sample of a prior-generation lens makes it worth my consideration. I will, therefore, be following this thread for my own interest.
