I haven't really calculated the difference but in terms of VOLUME it's probably a very close match between this one and the 70-300 IS. The DO is simply more "fat".

Yes, in width it is bigger. That is true. But not to the extent that that makes a real difference in just about any bag... length usually is a deciding factor though, bag or case wise.
Especially mounted on camera that 4.5 cm is a big difference.
Is that important enough for everyone? No, it is a niche lens.
