Wow, what an insanely naive and simplistic outlook on life. I'm glad you exist for the French economy, I suppose. Your list if non-L lenses.....most are fairly poor lenses, really. You should really try more than the 50mm f1.8 (good IQ, terrible build and AF) or the 75-300 and their ilk before pronouncing all non L lenses garbage. I own both of these lenses too, and they've been replace, with good reason, I with an L lens, the other with a Sigma EX lens.
Other issues here....7D is of the pro line, thus the xD name. Would I be correct to think you have a 5Dmk2 then? By all tests the 17-55 F2.8 IS USM is BETTER than several L lenses in terms of image quality, the reason they are not made for full frame cameras is simple, they are optimized for crop sensor cameras.
You speak as though you believe that I do not own any L lenses, I in fact have L glass in the bag and have shot with several L lenses. The experience with them has been mainly good, but I wouldn't say better than my experiences with some Sigma EX lenses.
Lastly, by your logic 5dmk2 is a mid range camera, so you should be ashamed for buying such a POS if you have one, as it isn't a 1dsmk3. (currently the most expensive Canon body) Certainly the 1dmk4 costs more than 5dmk2, so it must be better in every way. And really you shouldn't bother with Canon, Leica is far more expensive, and therefore better.
Sony TVs are better than Samsung, though Samsung makes the panels for several Sony models, the Sony versions MUST be better, they cost more! This isn't sarcasm, rather proof by counterexample.

Good luck with that.
