Looks like you are in good shape for portraits and for most street photography.
For astro I like our Rokinon 12mm f/2.
For street photography I prefer 23mm to 35mm focal lengths. ( I don't get right into people's faces, so I actually use my 18-55mm to give me flexibility for street.) I would prefer to take my 16-80 for street, but it is too big and obvious if I need to be more discreet.
If I am doing more urban general photography than people, I use mostly my 16-80mm with my 10-24mm in a small messenger bag just in case I need wider than 16mm. I love the exaggerated perspective that a wide angle (or fisheye) lens gives when shot with the camera aimed way other than just horizontal. Crazy tilts with buildings are fun for me.
For landscape and general photography I take my 10-24mm, 16-80mm and 70-300mm (w/1.4 teleconverter) with my fisheye tucked in a corner of the bag. If I travel light I drop the 70-300mm.
I find that I seldom go wider than 16mm, but for those times that I need wider my 10-24mm fills the bill as I have many choices with one lens in my bag.
You might consider just adding the 16mm f/2.8 as a starter for expansion or perhaps the 10-24mm.
There is a bigger difference in effect between focal lengths at the wider end of the spectrum as against the telephoto end. If 16mm was as wide as I could go I could live with it and do panoramas if wider was needed. 18mm just isn't wide enough for my style of landscape and general photography.
