This hot deal is back in-stock after selling out: authorized Canon dealer Adorama has a great price on an “open-box” EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II — it’s only $1699.95 with free shipping.
Adorama gives the condition as “Open Box – Packaging may show some wear and tear. Includes all original accessories and full 1 year Canon USA warranty.” In the past, our readers have reported that “open box” items purchased through Adorama are in pristine condition, with no evidence of having previously been opened, and come with a regular 1-year Canon USA warranty. See other Adorama open box items. Please note Adorama is closed until Wednesday, but it’s a good idea to order before this sells out again.
You can also consider our street price for $100 more, at $1799.
Is this lens a isll
Yes. It’s IS II.
What’s the real difference between that lens and this, besides $460?

IS and USM II. Any difference in glass quality?
Same glass, but autofocus is faster and IS add around 4 stops of stabilization
I believe the ii is also a little sharper
Sorry. I bought this.
For anyone on the fence, it seems adorama is just canceling the pre-owned order and shipping out new units. There is a long post about this on slickdeals.net
