Users of both 17-85 & Tamron 17-50 lenses.

Aside from the focal length differences and the aperture differences as well, how significant are the IQ differences of these 2 lenses? I use a T1i.

I'm wrestling with possible IQ, focal length, and cost differences between these two lenses. If the IQ is close, I'd opt for the longer focal length for conveninece sake. But if the IQ of the Tammy is superior to the Canon, I'd go Tamron. So I could use your feedback on these two(only) lenses. Thanks
