Seems like he's pretty positive about it. His complaints are the ones we all have, lens foot/collar are bad (which they are). He doesn't like the weight, and thinks it doesn't balance as well (I feel like mine does, but I have a 5.25" plate from kirk on it, so I think this is a more personal thing). He does say his copy is sharp wide open (which I agree there, mine is solid), and works well with a TC.

He seemed to talk more about the 100-400.

He looked like he wanted to toss it against the wall when he was putzing around with that collar.
My concern is these replacement collars are going to have a short foot like the Nikon one. I do like the 5.25 plate from Kirk for both its function as longer handle, and the reach to the lens controls.
