You can always go bigger by getting extension tubes, or teleconverters, saves you money, and you don't lose that much quality from it.
Unless your shooting NFL games, I don't see the need for anything over 300mm. I stopped using my 70-300, 200mm is enough for me right now.
As far as price, i shoot nikon, so I got the 70-200 VR 2.8 AF-S ED. Ran about 1600 US market, not gray market (about 200 cheaper but warranty is in japan).

Every lense has its place. 2.8 is essential for a lot of things. 400 range is great for a lot of purposes, including surfing shots depending on the break layout. Bigger zooms are great for perception shots that require it, etc. Just my opinion though.
