--Supposedly the best, but at about $1000, it's freakin' me out just thinking about spending that much money! I'm so NOT a pro... just a fanatical mom!
Anyone have any thoughts on these... thanks!!!

I'm not familiar with the Tamron, but going on the name, I would say it's not going to be any faster than your current 75-300; in fact, zoomed out it will only open up to f/6.3--really slow! VR is Tamron's version of image stabilization, btw, which is why it adds so much to the price.
I do hear fabulous things about the Canon 70-200 f/2.8L--but, yeah, the price! Yikes. You can spend even more and get the IS.
