But some of the coments and conclusions about the optical quality of the Nikon 80-400 in relation to the Canon 100-400 are in my view contradicting to your own MTF data for these two lenses.

The Canon outperforms the Nikkor at any focal length except the low end ... by quite a margin. In addition, the Nikkor suffers from much higer CAs and quite hefty distortion at the long end.
