Wow, was just reading this review and mechanical teardown of the Canon 70-200 F2.8L III.

Glad I did.
I was holding off until some more reviews came in. Was hovering over the 'buy now' button for a few hours yesterday. I know it's only a $300 difference in price but this article does raise the spectacle that perhaps it's just a repaint on the old model now 8 years old. What the article did not clarify was whether the electronics are different at all. They show that the mechanicals are the same and aside the new lens coating not much else was found.
Should be interesting as more info comes in. My interest in waiting a month it to see if there are any flaws in the new lens that have not shown yet, electronic, etc.
