I have the same Sigma lens that you have. It is my least favorite lens. I recently made a bid on a Canon 17-55. I didn't win it, but that's where I'm headed in APSC.

I borrowed a 17-55 from a friend and its a nice lens but it was a little soft at F2.8 imho.  Thus I bought the sigma 18-35 F1.8 art lens.  Then I wanted more range for use as a walk around and bought the 15-85 which I tend to use more than my other lenses.  It's still sharp at 15mm and F3.5.  Sharper and wider than the 17-55 at 17mm and F2.8.  But if you still want a faster lens the 17-55 is a good lens.  For my I still have the sigma I can jump to if I need a faster lens.
