The biggest work out I gave my lens was the 2011 Stampede parade. ~1500 photos in ~90 minutes or one every 3.6 secs. No burst photos.
in the previous year I took ~750 photos in the same period of time. Interestingly I got about the same numbers of "good" shots on both occasions.

Hi Nick, have you considered the Tamron 70-200 ? I'm a Nikon shooter, so more familiar with Nikon than Canon, but the Tamron is about half the price of the Nikon for similar performance.

Thanks for muddying the waters a bit more
Had a Tamron zoom with my minolta gear years ago and it was a brilliant lens.
had heard though that there had been a bit of a quality drop off
seems that I was wrong or they've again lifted their game
So I did a bit of a google search and came up with this...
Kai Wong of DigitalRev:
“For sure, if you want the best overall lens, go for the Canon. It is the complete overall package of sharpness, performance, and bokehliciousness,” he says. “But what a Tamron represents is nothing to be ashamed of. It has 95% of what the Canon has to offer for 1/3 of the price less of the Canon, which all sounds… sensible. But lens choices aren’t always about being sensible.”regards

It's like being asked to choose between your children.
But wait.... I know, sell the children.

I wouldn't get much and if there was a money back guarantee they'd be sent back as soon as it was worked out how much they ate!

Ok
finally made a decision and picked up the lens
the decision was made easier due to the fact that the Men's Shed got a domino via a grants award
anyway even then I procrastinated for a while on whether I really wanted it - in the end the bling factor won
I am super impressed with the quality of the glass. The zoom method is different from the other big lens but I'm a happy chap
here's a piccy of my young chap doing backstroke a couple of weeks ago

BTW the Domino is a beautiful machine and a joy to use - If I was starting out in my woodworking journey I'd get oneregards
