I have to ask what is the question?  You want to stay with Canon and you want another 17-55.  I think the others assumed that you are looking for an alternative to the Canon 17-55.  When you get a good copy, it is a good lens.  You've read and experienced the problems that some have complained about the Canon....ie, attracts dust, build quality on some....so again what is the question?

you centered the problem. i'm very undecided.

option 1: buy another (crossing fingers) 17-55,

option 2: buy a EF 17-40L or

option 3: buy a EF-S 15-85

still undecided 

I have the 15-85 on my 7D, but am considering the 17-55f/2.8 for indoor low light shots. The 15-85 is a very good lens & I would not sell it as the FR is great for an outdoor carry round lens, but is not too good for indoors in low light when flash is not allowed.
