Wow, I was expecting much worse - waiting to find what the catch was. Apparently, there's none.
Re: the hoods: so far the 83 gauge Canon hoods have all been (mostly) interchangeable so finding one that fits better (if the supplied one is not satisfying) should not be hard. Though it can lead to decidedly odd results - I once swapped the hoods on 24/1.4 II and the 100-400 for fun (it originated in the fact that for a little while I had to use the 100-400 without its own hood, and in my arsenal the only one that fit was the EW-83K hood from the 24, but it all went downhill from there).
