The 300mm f2.8 IS L has always been a good seller because it has (and appears to be remaining) been one of the cheaper superexpensive telephotos which was sharp enough to take up to a 2*TC whilst still keeping IS and good sharpness. A big saving over a the regular 600mm (heavier and no IS and a much bigger price tag).
The new 400mm f2.8, aside from its price, however looks to be challenging the 300mm dominance. Lighter and longer whilst being sharp enough to take a 2*TC for 800mm it might work its way into a more popular position for those who demand reach (wildlife shooters and spots togs) whilst also needing mobility.
