Sounds good but I'll wait a bit for a few more reviews.

I am not convinced that adding VR to a lens improves it.
There are many occasions where VR should be turned off and also whilst VR may allow you to get the occasional shot where a non-VR lens might have failed so for me it is another technology that needs evaluation of your real needs.

Also the question that may need answering is ..... Which is cheaper a good tripod or VR in all your lenses?
I know there is also a convenience factor that needs to be considered.

Just under £1200 at WEX. There is a waiting list apparently. I am waiting for a few more reviews and also I will want to collect it when I go to UK in October if I decide to buy.
If my Fuji XT1 and 100-400mm provides me what I want then I will be getting that lens instead.

I'm still waiting. I played with one of the new 300f4's with and without TC's today and am well impressed even with the mike 2x it was so sharp and so light. Hmmm.
