On the surface (very different pictures) it looks like the canon does an excellent job resisting flare. I presumed you work in an industry that cater to these shots or are these personal pictures? Anyways quite nice.

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/







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