Now that I have just purchased a BG-E1 and a BP-511 for my rebel my list stands like this:

100-400 L IS USM
EOS 20D

My current specs:

300D
BG-E1
2x BP-511
75-300 III USM
18-55

How does this plan sound? I do a lot of aviation photography so IS and more zoom is really sounding amazing? For the 10 months that I have to save up between my 100-400 L IS and my 20D how will my 300D perform with the big L glass?

do the big L first... that way you can still be taking more great shots while saving for the D20.
the 300 should do fine.
that's what I did.. (well.. I did the 70-200/F2.8L)

You won't regret the 100-400 L. Imaging quality isn't where the 300D falls behind its big brothers.

I agree buy the glass first, that what I did and my only regret is that the 5D came around. Now I don't know 20D or 5D, lets not go down that path.
