Depending on your aperture needs, the Nikon 28-400 might be another option. The best way to think of it is as an f8 zoom. If you want sharpness edge to edge you will want to be at f8 and when you use it above 200mm you will be at f8. It's much more versatile than a 70-300, but you lose a stop of light.
A 70-200 f2.8 + TCs, which can get you to 280 f4 and 400 f5.6, is in a whole other league vs a supper zoom, but it's also a much larger, heavier, and costly setup. Also, you lose the zoom range if that's important to you. I held on to my Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 G II ED VR for times when I need f2.8, but otherwise it's the 28-400mm lens I am taking with me.
