I'm gonna take the next step but the big question is which one. At first I was sold on the 100 - 400 BUT then I started thinking...............the 35 - 350 might be a good choice. What do you guys think?

And it's so easy to carry a smaller 28-75 or something similar. You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

And you're right about the IS - it can be very handy. You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

I've not had a chance to shoot wildlife yet, but the first week with my DRebel and the 100-400L IS I Captured the 10-27-04 Lunar Eclipse and the following weekend the Thunderbirds Air Show Performance! All Handheld w\Image Stabalization... A Life Saver! Check my WWW link Below to see what the 100-400L Capabilities are! Hey, I'm a Newbie to DSLR, so the Equipment Potential Certainly Helped to Pull it Off!!! Love the 100-400L and Glad I Spent my $$$ on it and Not the 20D! Good Luck!

I can't see why you would want to use under 100mm for any outdoor wildlife, the 200-400 range would be all you need even with a 1.6x crop D-SLR. Conclusion: 100-400 is the best lens for this.
