I've just purchased a 500 MKII and have the 1.4x MKII Extender.

Should I get a 1.4x MKIII Extender or stick with the 1.4x MKII Extender and safe myself a load of cash ߒ

Cheers

Apparently the mk3 tcon is sharper in the middle, but I didn't notice a real difference when I upgraded mine. As for cost, it's fairly cheap compared to buying a 500L.

took a few today, just garden birds, all with the 1.4x II. I'm pretty happy.
