The 300/2.8L IS, combined with a 1.4X and 2.0X TC is pretty darn good. It's by no means "cheap", but it's speed and IQ is right there close to the 500/4.0L IS.
Still, I'm anxious to get the firmware update that allows the 5D3 to AF at f/8. I know that it'll be slow and a battle to keep a BIF in focus (it's already tough enough operating at f/5.6), but avoid a severe crop usually trumps MTF charts when working with super-teles.
Almost every bird that you see from me has be seriously cropped, even most of those taken at 700mm.
