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.
Those 1.8 Sigma zooms are appealing. If I stuck with APSc and got another body, that would be a great indoor/low light combo. Even just the wide one would be a perfect party lens. I've read that Sigma does a better job now with focus than my older one.
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.
I've heard many times that the 15-85 and the 17-55 are both the best quality glass in EFs lenses. Range vs. speed. A tough choice. Then you have the 18-135 nano which gives a little better at the long end of the range but not as wide.
Lots of good choices.
