If you are considering the F4L IS, might as well also consider the f2.8L non-IS. 
Definitely worth the money paid!

The new 70-200mm f4L IS is reputed to have 4 stops of shake correction and also even better optics than the older version, so if your budget can accomodate that lens, get it.
70-200 f4/L IS USM. Regardless of lens code. Since the f/4L IS came out, the IS system was already the new one, with 4 stops shake correction.
I think the appropriate response is..
depends on what you're more likely to use it for.
IS helps if you can afford it especially in panning where its 5 thumbs up in the number of successful shots versus non-IS.

just to let you know, according to the MTF graphs online, the 70-200mm f4 IS is superior in terms of resolving power and sharpness to the f2.8, f2.8 IS and f4 non-IS variants.
However, they are all very good lenses in their own right... one of the sharpest in the range.

IS when u frequently shooting in very low lighting, else save up the extra $650 for something else. The non IS one is gd enough for general conditions.
