Which 70-200mm f/2.8? Does it REALLY make a difference?

As some of you may have read on the other thread, I'm now awaiting my new Canon EOS R (the baby C200). And the one lens I often hear people suggest I get is the 70-200mm.

Well there are a couple choices. The L series has the II ($1799) and the III ($2099) but Tamron has a much cheaper option at $1099 WITH image stabilisation. That would  be the Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC G2.

Are there visible differences between these? Or just to pixel-peepers?

I only have the first version of the Canon 70-200mm F2.8 L IS, but it's been bulletproof!  The only weak spot is the flare in the back lit subjects.  The mark ii has fixed this problem.  I haven't shot with the mark iii yet.  It's worth the money in peace of mind as well as resell value.
