It's going to be hard to find one lens that covers all of your criteria at that price. So, lets try and figure out what your primary use will be.
I think Rich's point is excellent. IMO, the idea of 'filling a gap' is irrelevant. Lens selection should be based on what you want to shoot, and then your budget.

So...what's this lens for? Portraits, sports/events, general walkaround, something else?
