If I needed the versatility then I would have kept the 100-400 -Chris

A good, modern 100-400 is sharper than a 7D can take advantage of. Unless you're talking about AF, which the prime is definitely faster/better at. A properly assembled 100-400 is much sharper at 400mm than it is at 100mm. It was sharp don't get me wrong... but after switching to the prime I could tell a big difference. I was using the 50D at the time when I had the 100-400 so it's not a complete apples to apples comparison. My biggest complaint was to make it as sharp as the 400 prime I had to shoot @ f8 whereas the prime I can shoot wide open at 5.6 no problems. -Chris

The only other replacement for me would be A fixed focal length like the Canon 400 or 500.

If I needed the versatility then I would have kept the 100-400 Lets not over state things here. I own both right now and again, I have a hard time discerning which one is responsible for great pictures. No way does the 400 prime "blow it out of the water". They're both fantastic lenses.
