Since its a quality prime, i doubt there will be any noticable loss of quality.
Why not try the 2x TC?

I found the PRO 300 DGX just as good as the MK II, no experience with the III

I am planning to use it for portrait, ~200mm is long enough :)

Anyhow, on this lens I have found the Canon (MK II) to be better than the Kenko when shot wide open. Otherwise they are pretty similar.

Don't get me wrong I love shooting portrait with it. It's just I wanted that extra fl for more background blur and compression as this is my longest lens currently. Plus I dislike the 70-200.
