This may be a lens specific issue. I know that Brad also uses a 400mm f/2.8 FLE... a lens that is one of the best that Nikon has to offer. As someone who uses a 300mm f/2.8, I know that this lens plays well with a 1.4x converter, the same, however may not be true of the f/4 super-tele lenses.
Brad has other reviews about the 400 FL and he is happy with it and both TCs (1.4 and 2x). He even mentioned in that review that he preferred to use 400FL with 2xTCIII instead of 600G + 1.4TC to get to "800". Funny because that has been my recent dilemma of deciding if I want to sell my 600II and buy the 4002.8II instead...basically trading off 1200mm f/8 for 400mm f/2.8. But I just don't see the 400II/2xTCIII being quite as good as my 600II/1.4TCIII.
Of course Brad hadn't compared the 600FL with 1.4TCIII to the 400FL with 2xTCIII so maybe if he had the 600FL it would be a different story. Actually one of the reasons he preferred the 400 combo was weight and the 600FL solves that for the 600s also.
