Re: OP uses a T4i not full frame and so

I'm in the same boat as you.  I recently bought a 60D and gave my T3i to my wife.  I bought a Sigma 18-250 DC OS Macro (new version) for the T3i but have used it on my 60D, and I have been impressed with the quality.

As far as the lenses you mention, I'm debating personally for lenses for my 60D.  I am leaning heavily towards the Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4 C.  Like you said, it gets great reviews, but for little more, the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 gets stellar reviews.

Pair that lens with the 55-250 STM and you have 2 very good lenses.  The 55-250 STM has been getting glowing reviews as well.

Also, don't hesitate to check a reputable used dealer, like KEH.com.  They are highly recommended, and I've used them numerous times with excellent results.

Finally, you may want to also consider the Canon EF-S 15-85mm.  Very sharp lens with a great focal range.
