Re: How about the Sigma 18-35 1.8?

I don't shoot weddings or concerts so, maybe I'm missing something obvious but, wouldn't the Sigma 18-35 1.8 be a good alternative? Last I checked the reviews and opinions were that it was a fantastic lens that compared very well with primes throughout its range. With 18-35 you've got a great range, just a little narrower than the 16-35 but, with 1.8 instead of 2.8. At $799 new, the price is hard to complain about. Perhaps you wouldn't have to sell anything in order to get it?
