70-200 Beer Can or 100-300 APO D

I second the opinion; the Bear Can 70-210 is pretty darn sharp at f/4 compared to lenses in its range and price. The Minolta 100-300 APO D is also a good lens. I believe Minolta made three 100-300 lenses. The xi, APO, and APO D. The APO D is the sharpest of these. You will find much better noise control with the A700 than the A100. However, and with that said, my first option would be the new SAL 70-200G/SSM given your ready to spend some coin.
Thanks for letting me share,
AJ
