1/1000 shutter speed should give much sharper results at 510mm.  I can't imagine anything sharper than 70-200VR f2.8.  TC17E II has 1.5 stop light loss so effective f8 has master lens at f4.8-ish.   
  
Have you considered TC14E II - a great TC I use with 200-400VR to give 560mm f5.6. 
  
What camera are you using?
