I think those that are advising you to sell a 300 2.8 are not giving sound advice. What are your other 3 ?
I'd also keep the full frame 5dmk2.
Back to YOUR original question, get the glass.
i gave the advice to sell the 300 for the 200 from personal experience. for me it would have been ideal to have both but no such luck. sounds like the OP is in the same position. i shoot high school sports, drama, dance, etc. and i get more bang for the buck with a 200L and 1.4x (when needed). and for sports shooting there isn't much debate on which camera is better a 5d2 or a 1d series.
how i see it you have a budget of $10,800 ($5,000 cash, $2300 = 5d2 and $3500 = 300 2.8IS). Therefore a 1d4 plus 200 2.0IS and 1.4x is what i recommend. with the 300 you can never get f2.0 (and you will use f2.0 for high school indoor sports) but with the 200 you can get a 280 at 2.8.
