The question here becomes, I think, several questions, and they are ultimately questions that the OP or any other buyer needs to answer within his or her own context.
Do you want/need 11-15mm in a zoom lens? (And, how much do you want/need 11-15mm in a zoom lens?) If you need it and you shoot Canon, this lens provides that for you, and it does a fine job of providing coverage of that focal length range in a zoom lens.
Are you sort of wondering what it might be like to shoot at 11-15mm? If so, you might consider renting a lens or possibly buying with the plan of selling at a small loss (and some time and aggravation) if you don't end up needing it as much as you imagine. (If you are well off financially, I suppose you might regard the cost of such a lens as a small expense and worth it to experiment. If you are less well off and considering its value as a photographic tool in your work, your perspective might be a bit more conservative.)
Are you OK with the downsides of using such a lens? For most folks it is going to be a tripod lens, and not likely a walking around lens. It is not at all easy to use filters with it. It is a big and bulky thing. Again, if you need it, you are going to put up with those issues. If you don't need it, they might lessen the appeal of the lens.
Might you actually be fine with 16mm in your zoom? That is quite wide! If so, consider the 16-35mm f/4L IS as a lower cost, smaller size, IS-equipped, and somewhat more adaptable lens that also provides very wide coverage in a small package the produces top notch image quality.
YMMV,
Dan
