Do I buy this lens or should I just opt for a recently manufactured copy?

I have this lens and I read that the Canon Extenders will not work with the lens.Question is, is there some other extender I can use with this lens and get good results ?Thanks.

Most of the Kenko range should fit, but that's the only one I've experienced.AF doesn't really happen at 300mm in dim light on my 7D, but in bright light it's fine. IQ doesn't take much of a hit at all (to my eyes)
