So, as an update for anyone who comes across this thread with similar thoughts or questions, I rented the 16-55 2.8 and decided to keep it after a long weekend of shooting.  Although it overlaps with literally all of my other lenses (16, 23 and 56), having that entire range in a weatherproof lens at a relatively wide aperture proved to be very useful.  Also, it effectively gives me the 35 that I sold because I didn't love it, back, along with the rest of the range.

Being a prime shooter for the most part, it was fun playing with a zoom.  It's heavy, but not a deal breaker for me at all and feels solid and well made.  I carried it on a sling strap all day long and didn't mind.  I am finding it infinitely better than the 18-135, as well.

Based on limited usage, I definitely recommend it.
