Default Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens

I'm curious if anyone here has got their hands on the new Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS II?

I'm particularly interested if you would compare it to your experience with the previous, so called plain IS version.

It's only exploratory at this point, Jeff. But if you catch a whiff of burning plastic card while in the Kids forum then I'd say it's a good clue.
