Wow; the bokeh and loca look almost perfect but that flare - ouch. I thought the nano-coating was suppose to make that a thing of the past <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

For comparison, here's the Canon 200/2L IS's flare:



The contrast has been kept low in this one to make the skin look more flattering - http://www.flickr.com/photos/genotypewriter/3567080200/







Here the WB has been stylised to give a "gold" look but if you look at the garment you can see fairly deep blacks - http://www.flickr.com/photos/genotypewriter/3929464372/

Still the lens is TOOOO heavy. If they could make one lighter than 400g it might be interesting <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Umm if you mean 400g lighter than the 2900g of the 200 f/2 VR then the Canon 200 2L IS is exactly that:
