I'd agree that the IS version is likely a better fit for your needs--image stabilization is huge help when trying to hand-hold a camera in dimly lit churches. That said, you could get the same benefit by using a monopod with the non-IS version, but your mobility would suffer.
@w349: indeed weather sealing, didn't think of before but very, very useful
@neuroanatomist: when the 5D3 becomes less expensive, I'm indeed planning on buying it.
Does anyone have experience with these lenses in the field (or with both of them). I really love the IQ from the IS version II, but I can't compare it to the two lenses mentioned here, which are said to have a lower IQ. Should I be afraid I will be dissappointed or just go for it ??
