Advice on a lens setup

Ok likely another lens thread, and I know there are a pile of these but am looking for some long term advice from people who may have been in my spot in the past and figured out a path forward.

I'm currently shooting on a 600D and after thinking hard about it I am likely to stay with APS-c cameras moving forward (I prefer the slightly smaller bodies and would rather use the cash on better lenses as I feel the gap in bodies will close as tech advances.)

Currently my gear consists of a kit 18-55, a 55-250 IS, a 50 mm 1.8 and a Sigma 18-35 1.8. With adding the sigma I am definitely seeing the benefit of good glass and I'm now planning out the next couple of purchases. Shooting wise I dabble in a lot of different things with the majority being black and white street work (which the sigma and 50 are great for) and some landscape/astro.

I'm torn between something in the 24-105 range for more walk around work or a 70-200 to replace the 55-250 with brighter glass. This last one would have the advantage of being able to add a tc for longer reach on occasions in the near future where I'd want wildlife. I'd have gone for the 50-150 2.8 Sigma but they discontinued it a while back sadly and can't find any copies with OS on the used market right now.

Any thoughts from those of you wedded to APS-c cameras?
