Happy New Year everybody! First of all, I currently own a 17-40 mm and find that it is pretty good, and the price point was awesome when I bought it. I am shooting more and more real estate and a few people have told me to move up to the 16-35mm.. Am I really gaining that much more with that lens? I shoot with a Canon 5d Mark III. Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

The 16-35/4L IS is an amazing lens at a very reasonable price. Even if you stop down to (say) f/8 the 17-40 is much less sharp in the full frame corners. The IS and the extra FoV are obviously useful. If you're making money, I'd say why not spend some of it on an excellent upgrade.
