I guess you already know that the 24-105 will be wider on the FF 6D than your 18-55 was on your rebel; the 24 on FF being like a 15 on crop, so you will pick up some additional "wide angle" just going this route. So I would say if you always felt like you needed the 10-22 for your T3i, and you feel you need considerably wider than what you had before then go for it, you will definitely see a difference between a 17 and a 24 FL on the FF. Nothing at all wrong with the overlap in the 24-40 range, I would prefer some as it might cut down on some lens changing.

I did know there would be a difference in effective focal length with the FF but didn't know how to convert so you may have just saved me $739 (at least in the short term)....thank you!!  I'm pretty happy with the wide end of my 18-55 now, so I'll probably be happy with the 24 if it's effectively even wider.  Thank you for what sounds like good advice.
