A 2nd body would be for sure beneficial and with the 70-200 2,8 and a 400mm there is hardly a gap. Plus you don`t need to carry something like the 100-400mm Zoom arround when you are just after 100mm-200mm. But Popo is right right every lense( -set ) is a compromise. My prefered combo is a 50-150 2,8 and the 400mm 5,6 for the long end. I used for 6 month the 150-500 and never liked it, high in contrast but not enough resolution. Especially with birdfeathers you can`t get enough of it.
My personal dream would be something like the old Minolta 400mm 4,0 with a 1,4 TC in the region for 1.500 euros.
