Keep the 100-400mm only if you're really pretty big into bird photography.

Both are fine lenses, but the 70-200mm is one of Canon's very best.

I don't own a 70-200 and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but everything I've seen and read supports what Dave is saying here. The 70-200mm F4 is an IQ gem.
