The 300 is great, if you're indoors, and outdoors. If you're more of a summer and fall shooter, always outside shooting the field sports ... the 400 blows the 300 out of the water. I love my 300, moreso because I use it from hockey, to football, back down to basketball. With the 400, it'd be perfection outside, and nothing more than the 70-200 indoors.
The 300 performs nearly flawless with a 1.4 on it, and its on my lens outdoors unless I'm shooting above ISO3200 on the D3.

That is where I am too. I figured that when I got my 400mm I'd sell my 300mm. But the 300mm is a great lens too. For field sports I use my 400mm all the time but for indoor sports and other news type events the 300mm is great. Also when I'm shooting D1 football I'll often have an assistant with me and then I carry both the 300mm and 400mm. (ok I don't carry them - the assistant does. )
I'd rather have both, as it is I have the 300 and a 1.4 that I allot, sure I'd love to have a 400, but between the two I usually find myself wanting something just in between the 300 and the 300 with the 1.4. Anyone make a 350-375MM F2.8 prime?
