Slightly off-topic but have you considered adding a fast prime in the 28-35mm range - with an aperture of 1.4, you may find this opens up new opportunities

Up until this discussion, I had not considered a fast prime.  I've never used one before, so hadn't even heard of a prime lens until I started researching what to invest in now.

Obviously an f/1.4 allows lower light shooting--what other advantages are there?  I'm open to any ideas, really.
