When the PL 100-400 first came out, the review photos were not impressive ... and I am not sure if that's because the reviewers are not used to shooting with long lenses i.e. they are not bird photographers and most of them actually suck at it - or it may be that the earlier production copies of this lens are not as good. But more and more great images are surfacing in the past few months. In terms of value, the PL 100-400 is better value than the 300/4 prime ... but the fact still remains that the 300/4 is a tad better/sharper than the PL zoom at 300mm, plus it's a little faster.
To answer your question ... I honestly don't know what I will do if I am starting over - and I am glad that I don't have to agonize over that decision! A couple of my friends decided to buy both! For now, I am happy with and I am sticking to my Olympus 40-150/2.8 and 300/4 lenses.
I may replace my 40-150/2.8 with the PL 50-200/2.8-4 when it comes out in a few months time, but I won't be an early adopter, as I need to be convince that the PL is better than the Oly in terms of image quality.

Bobby, given your type of work, if you were to start from scratch, what lenses you will go with.
Also, suppose you did not have your 40-150 and there was a choice between that and Pana 100-400, which one will you chose? I know both are different lenses, but still..,
