I finally got my hands on one (store demo) yesterday. Surprisingly well balanced, and hand-holdable. Weighs about 50% more than my current 100-400 II + TC (i.e. 560 @ f/8). MFD is a bit longer than my current rig ... but, that's not the main reason for a lens like this anyway.
Here's a test shot in the store @ 600mm wide open.
The 100% crop shows that I was just a touch soft (camera shake) ... BUT, this is 600mm @ 1/10 second.
I figure, I found the "lower limit" ... but I should be good at most anything north of 1/100.

1/30 cleans up nicer.
