I think Dave's advise is good. You could get the 50 & 24 STM's from the refurb store for $221.00. If you later go to FF the 50 still works for you.
BTW, what don't you (and Dave) not like about the 17-55? I've been considering getting one as the Sigma 18-35 seems to have problems on the 80D.
I loved the first 17-55 i had, years ago on my 30D and 40D. It worked well on my 60D but i sold it to get a 15-85. when i tried to buy it again i ended up with two copies that were decentred so gave up.
Last year i got a 80D and wanted another 17-55. I got one and it seemed fine on my 650D but was not reliable on my 80D. it was sharp enough when it hit the spot but i felt it could/should have been better. The 24 STM, 40 STM and 50 STM (that i ended up getting) had no such issues, all were spot on on my 80D, and i felt at the price the 17-55 cost it wasn't worth living with it.
