    Would you say that IS makes such a substantial difference?

    It does for me. If you happen to be a shooter that takes 90% of your shots on a tripod, then probably not. I have a lot of use for it.

    Guess that's a question best answered by you and your shooting habits. I'm with John on this one. For a crop camera, the 17-55 is the better choice. It also holds it's value relatively well. If I needed quick cash I'm sure I could sell mine without much waiting for 700-800 without too much waiting. So if you ever make the jump to FF and decide to get the 16-35, you can sell the 17 to help with the purchase.
