Thanks for that very thorough and frank review. With all the rave (subjective) reports around on the net, I had begun to contemplate selling my 70-200f4L IS and 300f4L IS to get this new zoom, though I've been very happy with the IQ of those two fine lenses on the 5DII. After reading this review, I think I'll stick with them. Also, I particularly like the size and low weight of the 70-200 and the shallow DoF of the 300 at f4 is something to behold.
BTW, I notice you didn't 'loan' the lens from one of your 'readers'. Are you now able to borrow lenses from a dealer or Canon distributor?
