Pic 1 340mm using 70-200VR f6.3 (effective f11)
Pic 2 340mm using 80-400VR f6.3
Pic 3 200mm f6.3 70-200VR so TC performance can be realised.

Conclusion
Using a master lens of outstanding sharpness TC's can be used with acceptable loss of quality. Compared with 80-400, 70-200 and 1.7TC at the same aperture shows much improvement over 80-400.

I am now sleeping on whether I should sell 80-400VR but I am worried about light loss premium of TC's
Stephen, that is some lens. A significant difference in performance.
