The EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 will fill your gap very well. I have used this lens on a 60D for several years and the combination has delivered a lot of wonderful photos. This lens delivers the IQ of many L lenses. Plus, the price point on this lens is very good right now. Much better than when it was initially released.

Keep in mind that an EF lens with a 24mm wide end is only 38mm on a crop camera. This will be very limiting to your shooting conditions, IMO.

It's good to hear your experience with that lens, it definitely sounds like a good option.

That is a good point about the crop sensor, could someone clarify whether EF-S lenses are affected by the crop as well? Because I was originally under the impression they were built around the crops, so a 55-250 is a 55-250 not an 88-400, but I've been told otherwise. I'm just a little confused...
