Tamron 17-50 f2.8

My case is a bit complicated, cos I currently owned the 17-85IS.
If I buy the Tamron (for the constant f2.8;p ), chances are I'll keep the 17-85IS as I find the IS feature quite handy at times. I am very lazy to carry tripod.
But if I do that, then I am tying up funds for 2 lens which can almost help to fund the purchase of the 17-55IS.. so must well go for it 1 shot & sell the 17-85IS to get the 17-55IS :think:
But I do agree it's kinda overprice, heart very pain if I really buy it. High chance that I will still use the primes most of the time.

Comparison of Tamron 17-50 F2.8 vs Canon 17-40L...
Not bad at all for a lens that costs half the price

which one would you choose for shooting weddings? (I would compare the tamron with the sigma17-70, around the price range)
>>sigma 17-70mm f2.8-f4.5 - useful marco & zoom range, but more soft at extreme border?
http://www.photozone.de/8Reviews/lenses/sigma_1770_2845/index.htm
>>tamron 17-50 f2.8 - better resolution(MTF50) but more distortion / field curvature at wide-end?
http://www.photozone.de/8Reviews/lenses/tamron_1750_28/index.htm
e.g.
which lense have a more serious weakness?
which weakness more serious or less tolerated?
which one better built & handling?

I think more impt for you to try yourself and experience what the strengths and weakness are. But for me, a constant 2.8 is a better plus for weddings. 50mm is long enough for most situations if you are not a pro (most pros use 2 bodies with different combo lens anyway)..
