I like this quote from Jim Kasson:

Yet another restatement of an ancient proverb, aimed at photography. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_is_the_enemy_of_good>

I don't disagree at all. OTOH, knowing the capabilities of alternate pieces of gear, as well as how they will likely perform under various circumstances may enable a meaningful choice of what to use to get a decent, practical "good".

The promised Oly 150-400mm F4.5 TC 1.25x IS PRO is likely to be a good example. It may be better than either 100-400, but would be useless for me.
