Pros: Light weight, relatively cost effective, works great with EF70-200mm lens, easy to carry
Cons: Physically looses one stop, slight image quality reduction, 40% additional magnification not very dramatic

Pros: Solid construction, improves zoom w/ little loss of image quality or AF speed
Cons: PRICE - $300 ouch!
Weight - it is heavy for its size
