Seriously? I have both and there is no comparison. I mean IMO the difference between a 18-135 kit lens and the 100L is smaller than the difference between the 100L and the 100MP. The Canon 100L colors are dull, bokeh mediocre and while it is sharp, it\'s not nearly in the same league as the 100MP. I\'ve completely stopped using the 100L - the only reason why I\'m keeping it is that I could in theory sometime want a 1:1 macro. Not likely that it will happen though.
The last time I used both was shooting a ladybug. After some shots with the 100MP I switched to the 100L to get closer..

Look at the colors on the ladybug. See that metallic specular look on the 100MP that is so dulled on the 100L? These images were all taken within three or four minutes and the light was identical.
Here are a few other 100MP pictures that there is no way you could get with a 100L:
