    If I were in your shoes I'd get the Canon 18-200. I find that it's rare that I need 17mm out of my 17-50 and those few 17mm shots never end up being favorites but I'd really miss 200mm. I tend to frame portraits pretty tight and longer focal length help most anyone's apearance.
    I don't have any expirience with the Canon 18-200 but have used the Nikon 18-200 and given ample light it's a hoot.
    Of course the Nikon body that it was on was a D300, maybe ? 12mp prosumer body? Anyhow it made my XSI look kinda bad. It make's me want a 50D or 7D really bad.

    I'd also get a 50 1.8 ASAP even if it is your only other lens.
