As good as the 70-200 is, it doesn't compare to the 300 VR IMHO.
It's recognised by most as Nikon's sharpest. And at 2.8kg's be prepared to get fit ! 
I'll be putting it to the test in Zambia (SLNP 17 nights) in 6 weeks. D4|D3S|D700+MB-D10| 14-24 |24-70|70-200 f/2.8 VRII|70-200 f/4 VR|80-400 AF-S|500VR|Sigma 150 f/2.8 macro|TC's 1.4,1.7E & 2.0III|SB 900
very nice. I love the 70-200, but can see the difference in these at 300 prime!
have you used the 200mm f2? its closer to my focal length usage.
I haven't had the pleasure of using the 200 VR, however, I believe it compares pretty well to the 300 in regards to sharpness & bokeh.
