Help me choose a Canon lens with 40% off

I was given a discount of 40% off for a lens on CANON Online Store, so from looking at the prices I came up with below, which one do you think I should get? (aka. which is the best deal)
I choose refurbished because the price is better and I'm cool with refurbished:

Is the 40% coupon for anything? Pick up the 800mm, sell it for a bit under 10k and pocket the 4K or buy a bunch of other lenses.

Wow, those are some screaming deals! How did you come across the discount?

The 100 Marco IS is a great lens but for pure portraiture, I would go with a 70-200 2.8 IS. With the Marco you have to set the limit for fast focus with subjects like a person. Can't go worth with that price? How did you get 40% off?

70-200 2.8 IS

70-200 2.8 IS

How did you get this deal?

Oh yeah, my vote is for the 70-200 f/2.8 IS also.

Given your current lineup, I guess I'd say get the 24-105 or upgrade your 100mm to the IS version. Unless you're really feeling the need for the extra stop on the 70-200.

Screaming good deal; the rest of us are jealous!

best I can get is 15% when I register a product with Canon

A friend of mine sent the 24-105 in for repair and canon messed it up. After a month of arguing they gives him 40% discount on the new 24-105.

He doesn't want it so I can use the discount. Just called in and was confirmed I can use it on the 100mm, but I'm not sure about the 70-200 IS since it's much more expensive than the 24-105.

What would you use the 100mm L for the most?

If you buy the 70-200 2.8 IS you will be able to sell your f4 version.

I'm looking for a lens for portrait, but I also shoot macro on the side.
If I get the 100L I can use it for both
100 non-L and 70-200IS would be awesome but they costs so much money

How about: sell 70-200F4, buy f/2.8IS, trade for 2.8 non-IS + cash would that be more cost-effective than buying the 70-200 2.8 straight out?

then dangit, Canon needs to come out with a 70-200 2.8 IS USM Macro!

Holy smoke. If I were you, I will pick up the 70-200 F2.8 IS II. The more expensive it is, the more you save. And I am sure if you don't like it, you can sell it and make money You know this thing is selling for $2200, right? If you post like $1900, it is almost guarantee it will be sold very fast. Then you almost can get your 100L for FREE!!!

Too bad it's not on the list.
