"Event Shoot" is better done with a Sigma 70-200 2.8?

I had them both.  One is very compact & lightweight, the sigma is bigger and heavier.  Prime are great for casual shoot, where taking time out swapping lens isn't a problem.

But if I'm the 2nd shooter in a Wedding, where each moment count, I would much rather have any 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom.  The flexibility of different focal length + freedom from changing lens is gold in event shoot.
