I've been looking for the new 80-400 and see that there are a few used ones for ~$750 dollars, Buy it Now. It is $2700 new, is there a reason to avoid these lenses?

There is an older and newer version. I'd say that sounds about right for the older one
 
Very good image quality and fairly versatile, but the autofocus is astonishingly slow and the aperture is nothing to write home about. If you are considering this lens for sports or wildlife, you will be disappointed in it's performance. The 70-200 vr with a teleconverter or even the newer 70 - 300 vr would both be better options for most people.
 
Thanks for the replies, I had forgotten about the earlier version without AF-S. I am seriously considering the 80-400 with AF-S, it ends up being close to the price of the 70-200 2.8 with teleconverters.
