Hi Rob
You don't say if you are using full frame or a crop body but I shot these back in January and the 100-400 was great on my 7D

I had been the previous year with a 70-200 and 1.4X and it was nowhere near long enough.

Depends what your shooting, your style and the weather.
A 70-200 2.8 and converter can be used without the converter, whereas the 100-400L is f/4.5 - f/5.6 so is less good in lower light conditions.
7D has big cropping potential. I use a 70-200 and a 300mm prime at Brands Hatch (for cars) on a 1d4 and 7d and crop if necessary.

Right full answer is, it depends on what you are shooting and where you a standing. Motorbikes or cars.
With a crop camera then you'll have plenty of reach with either 100-400 or 70-200 with 2x. The 70-200 would give you slightly more flexibility but I never found an issue with the 100-400 and low light and you have slightly more useable range.this was with my 50d and the 7d is a much better camera.
Just looked through my last shots, Some places you'll need long, other such as inside Druids you could be down to 50mm

Well I took a 70-200 f2.8 IS USM and x2 extender MK II, with me borrowed from my uncle, 1st thing i noticed was it was awful lot heavier than my 70-200 f4 non IS
I was pretty much having to use the 2x extender most of time!. pleased with these also shooting with my 7D for first time was bit different, take some getting used too.
