True. However, I'm not looking to shooting in a "dark environment" with such a
lens (e.g., I'm not looking to photograph at concerts, beyond say using
something like the 45/1.8). My likely use would be in daylight. If, for
example, I want to shoot planes in flight or at least moving at a distance, I
will need accurate focusing - read good AF - and good IQ. At the present time,
the only options I see would be the 75-300 or the 100-300.

But ask yourself whether the reduced IQ at long focal lengths is of any
consequence compared to shooting at f/2.8 with no IS and no AF in a dark
environment at slow shutter speeds. Choose your poison. :-)
