Should I sell my 17-40 f/4L for the 17-55 f/2.8 IS?

Thanks for the reply! I've heard that the 17-55 is also more prone to lens flare than the 17-40. Have you noticed this? (I'm assuming you've shot with the 17-55 before).

Thanks again!

Got one, and don't notice so much flare. Also have the 70-200 II - it is great.

I have never had a flare issue with my 17-55mm, but I always shoot with a lens hood.
