What are you doing with your photographs? Are you shooting from the tripod and making very large, high quality prints? Then perhaps yes. Are you shooting handheld and mostly sharing electronic copies? Perhaps not.
Dan, disagree.
If you shooting hand held, and not from tripod, there is even more reason to get the IS lens.
IS is not and ultimates substitute for tripod, but with 16-35 f4 IS, you can shoot at 16 mm f 5.6, 1/30 second, at say ISO 200 during golden hour and have many perfectly sharp images for 20x30 prints, if the subject works such that dof allows. and I speak from experience, here as I have a 30 inch wide print of this shot hanging in my house.

you will have to stop down to 17-40 to f11 and need at least twice faster shutter speed, and your corners will still be worse.
I dont advocate shooting landscape without a tripod,
