I forgot to add that the 70-300 gets pretty soft close to 300mm. Too 
soft for me. May be partly due to the slow shutter speeds required or 
that it doesn't balance well on a tripod. In any event that makes it a 
70-250 for critical use. The 50-200 + xx beats the pants off it at the 
long end. And of course costs 3 times more.

One plus for the 70-300 not previously mentioned is its macro capability.
