I would suggest to consider a faster 400mm before going for an arm and leg loose on a brand new AF VR etc. Something like this one:

I have seen them a lot cheaper than what this seller is selling for. If you need to have that special Bokeh, you must go for fast lens. Additionally with lower light situation, birds are a lot sharper frozen, utilizing that fast F stop. The problem obviously is weight. I am personally not at all for AF or even IS as both of these options (On the lenses that I have and support them) are usually turned to OFF. So why pay for something that I am not using often. I like to know who else feels like me or completely feels in opposite direction.
