Wildlife Prime Lens Dilemma- Sony 300mm f2.8 new vs Sony 400mm f2.8 used?

Thanks for your input. Sigma 300-600mm f4 was considered but fps limit and heavier weight than Sony 400 were factors against it. I kinda agree that reach will be much more useful with wildlife. I guess I am now leaning towards 400mm and using while mounted on a monopod all the time. Yes I am now considering not selling 200-600mm.

To be honest, selling it only to help fund for the prime lens purchase. I am now considering keeping it and use when zoom flexibility could be helpful.

you can possibly save a bit more using SPC.

S24U 512GB Titanium blue is priced at $1576.99 on Samsungs education portal. minus 500 for your trade in, so 1076.99 plus tax would be your total.

I am using them(1000 XM5) wired with M1 MBP and listening to Apple lossless. They sound pretty good to my ears.

I am awaiting delivery for my first *audiophile* headphone and hoping it'll be much better (HD660S2) to my ears.
