I find my 17-40 to be pretty disappointing, honestly, even on my pretty undemanding 10D..though it does seem to spend quite a bit of time on the camera. I expected much better from the amount of money I plunked down on it, still. I'd rent one before you buy one, and make sure it meets your expectations. I think it's easily the most over-hyped lens in Canon's lineup. The 70-200 series, however, are everything everyone says they are, and more...though the IS and focus system on my 70-200 are kinda cranky sometimes. I'm kicking myself for not sending it in for service under warranty :(

If you rarely use something, force yourself to. I use my 70-200 all the time; the short depth of field and pretty long nature (on the cropped sensor) make it great for getting some interesting shots people with point&shoots just cannot duplicate, and look different enough to catch attention.

How is the 35? I have a 50/1.8, and yes, it's quite nice- but too high on the cropped sensor. I think I'd really enjoy having a wider prime to mess around with.
