If it's anything like the 70-200 VR vs VRII then I'd suppose there is a pretty significant difference. However, how this will show in real-world shooting, I don't know. Better answers to follow.

It could be a very versatile lens, providing you just use a TC14E teleconvertor. I have read horror stories of soft imaging in compositions more than 20 metres distant from camera. I wonder how much of this is technique or poor IQ of the lens itself. I wonder how it would fare at infinity landscape shots.
