I have read that the new 100-400L IS II is very sharp. It's smaller aperture should work outdoors in the stronger light.

As Joel mentions, the Tamron 70-200 G2 is pretty good

Have you missed shots with your current setup due to the 7D's autofocus that would lead you to want a different body? Wonder if you could rent the 7DII and see if it enough better?
