Most feature my clean backgrounds so not a lot to learn about the BOKEH.

I found this page while browsing through dpreview Canon lens forum, looking for clues as to whether to get the 70-200/2.8II + 2xExtenderIII combo. I hope I am not posting against the rules of this community, but I would really appreciate your opinion for what you would do in my situation. I travel a lot with a light 5D kit, but my longest focal length lens (a 70-200/4IS) is too short for shooting wildlife. I think I’d be fine with 400mm. My question is: I read reports that this new 70-200II/2xTCIII combo @400mm is as sharp or sharper than the 400/5.6. OK. But how about bokeh? Can anyone comment on bokeh amount and quality for the 70-200/TC combo vs 400/5.6? This anhinga shot above has outstanding bokeh, but the bird was quite close, closer than most of the wildlife I shoot.
Thanks!
Selwin
