To pack or not to pack.... 100-400 and 150-600

Any of you guys with both lenses ever travel with both?  I am headed out west in two weeks and will probably need the 150-600 more.  I love the Vario 100-400 and could see it coming in handy on its own but the 150-600 will probably cover all I need for both.  The 100-400 is easier to hand hold.  I could pack both but it would be a bit of a chore to do so.  I will also have my 24-90.

What can I say? I sold the 100-400 when I got the 150-600 because I knew I would never use it again, there is too much of an overlap. 
I now have the 28-70, 70-200 and 150-600 as a perfect trinity.

Thanks for this.  I was already thinking of selling the 100-400.  The only thing holding me back is the wonderful performance of the lens and it was the first Leica lens I bought.  I can be overly sentimental.  I don't want to rent things as I want the shots I take to be with gear I own.  Silly, I know but it is what it is.
