With the 1.4x, you will only be able to shoot at f4.0 wide open. You lose 1 stop with the 1.4x and 2 stops with the 2x TC

I shoot with the 70-200 f/2.8 and the Canon 1.4 TC While you do lose the stop with the TC on, it's worth it for the extra reach. Then when the lighting changes, take off the TC and shoot at f/2.8 You should be happy with this type of setup.
