That would be an interesting test. As you say the 100-400mm is a lot lighter.
Will wait for good weather. Of course with any cropping test one has to be mindful of the iso being used.
Cropping a high iso noisey image not only enlarges the subject but it enhances the background noise appearance as well.
It’s one of my gripes with the 40MP sensors. Yes they give more detail when the light is right, but beware cropping them as a substitute for long lenses when the iso is high. They seem to exaggerate the noise more than a 25mp sensor.
