Haha, "aging Canon lens"! Didn't it just come out only a few years back, c. 2006?
Well, it's a fast standard zoom- and it could use an update. The Sigma is a circa 2010 lens, and will also likely see a 'sports' update sometime soon too.
The main issue with the 17-55/2.8 IS USM is that while it's a well-rounded lens, it could be revised to be more in line with the performance of the 24-70/2.8L II, especially with a smaller, lighter competitor that produces better results, along with the existence of Sigma's significantly sharper 18-35/1.8 Art, and their lightweight 17-70/2.8-4.
