Brian,
A bit off track but out of personal interest, and for the possible benefit of others, have you had an opportunity to try the 300 f4 AFS on a monopod for comparison. I am wondering if because in that situation you are holding the lens and camera, any vibrations would be to a degree damped.
Neat idea to overcome your problem. Your foot is obviouly of greater area than mine to overcome the spongy rubber on the sliding foot. When I see a suitable bit of thin cork I will use that to replace the rubber on mine.
