Either the 500 or 600 II. I borrowed a 500mm from CPS and fell in love with the light weight and much improved IS (I hand held 1,000mm as slow as 1/80-sec.). After I buy my 1D X (soon) I'll borrow a 600mm to see if it tempts me as much. Having a 500/700/1000 arsenal may be enough. Of course, 840mm with all the AF points and 600mm quick as lightning may be impossible to resist. We'll see.
The 1D X comes first, because its ability to manhandle the AF of those lenses with TCs attached is ten-fold better than my 5D MkIII.
1,000mm hand-held at 1/80-sec.:
