Yes! The lightweight, smaller black beauty comes in handy as opposed to the big white monster. Regarding zoo photos, the zoos I go to, you'd need a lot longer lens than 200mm.

Well, you need to think hard whether zoo visits on the trip are important enough.
Myself, I have the 1.4x extender for the 200mm f/2.8 prime (the 2x is useless) which makes an OK zoo combo. The prime with the extender is still manageable. The zoom gets even more unwieldy.
I should mention, though, that the zoom is weather-sealed and the prime is not. Could be a factor.
