Supertelephoto Lens Updates Are Getting Closer [CR1]

I would have to say the 600 and now the 600 II have made me more of a stationary shooter, though it is amusing sometimes to try handheld tracking when I just cannot shift the gimbal/tripod combination any further. I still carry the camera/lens/tripod on my shoulder and usually have a full pack(5DSR w/several lenses) for the other shots. The one thing I would love to see on the 600 is the selectable 1.4TC like the 200-400. When you are setup in a blind or literally sitting/laying in the mud, movement is a huge deal, and being to either add or subtract that much focal length with the flick of switch would go a long ways towards avoid potential disturbance of whatever is being observed. Also a closer MFD would be a nice touch, as while the use of an extension tube can get you closer, the loss of distance focusing makes it a bit of a bear to constantly swap out, just like the 1.4. Take my money?
