For anyone interested, the 400 f/4 DO IS is just over
1kg lighter than the 400 f/4 L series (from 3kg down to just
under 2kg). It is also significantly smaller.

It is also significantly more expensive than any lens I
could ever possibly own <g>

Lots of info (explanation of technology), including a
picture of the to 400mm lenses against each other at Digital
Photography Review:
