It's a nice lens, but heavy. I'd recommend a tripod or monopod with it unless you're a REALLY good hand-holder or use a body brace. It would be a pretty big step up from the 70-300 lens you have now (is that the one with the green-ring on it?).

My go-to lens for 90% of the time is the 24-105L. I think that everyone who shoots Canon relies on that lens I also had the 24-70L but sold it due to lack of use.

My main kit is:
16-35L
24-105L
100-400L

The 70-200L/IS lens is also a great outdoor lens. I had the 70-200L non-IS, but sold it, have not replaced it yet because I haven't had time for serious photography in a while.

I also need to upgrade my 5D to the MkIII...
