The 7-14 is expensive but still reachable, it is cheaper than a 24 shift :-) 
Just like the 50-200, I may wait for a used one. BTW, just bought a used 
1.4x at good price, it extended the range of my 50-200 by 40%, may be 
marginally good for some bird shoots.

I agreed the 50-200 is good enough for creating shallow DOF shoots, a fixed 
150/2 is just not that flexible in many cases. A fixed wide or macro will be 
more usable.
