The 300mm f4 +1.4 will give you a 420mm f5.6 lens, personally I would go for the 400mm f5.6 albeit no IS, its cheaper too.

Have you actually tried the 1.4X with the 300mm F4 Gerry? I've seen reviews that rate the combination highly, but I'd regard real users experiences more highly than some anonymous review.
This is one option I've been considering. Mind you, I've considered just about every possible 300mm combination.
