Picked up a used one yesterday and so far very impressed. Wide open seems softer than what has been described but I haven't micro adjusted the lens yet. Hope to get some testing in this weekend. Now do I sell my 100L or 135L to fund it?

If that's the case, it all depends on if you need macro or IS. If you don't, keep the 135 and sell the 100. They are both great lenses and I can't justify selling either (as I still own both after recently liquidating 4 other lenses), but the 135 is just special. 5D Mark III | SL1 | EOS-M | S100

Really you're the only one who can answer that. We don't know what you primarily shoot, or if this is hobby, etc. The 100 and 135 are too close in focal length for me, but, that 100 is a macro lens and does something very different than the 135 can. So if you're shooting macro, it makes sense to keep the 100. If you're doing a lot of environmental portrait, it makes sense to keep the 135 or 100, as they both do that nicely. The 100 is the more versatile lens of your two. The 135 is more specialized, but it's really top of it's game in that cost bracket for environmental portrait.

Well do you need a 35mm or a short telephoto. That is the question you should be asking yourself.
