For landscapes / architecture only, you would probably be best served getting a wider lens plus one of the cheapo kit zooms-- you can find an 18-55 non-IS for around $50, and an IS version for not much over $100. Then you could upgrade to the 17-55 IS later, and you would be out less money now (i.e. could start saving up immediately).
I bought the Tokina 11-16 and just took delivery yesterday. It looks like it will work VERY nicely. I paid around $412 shipped, after the live.com cash back. I was leery of ordering from Hong Kong, but the lens is fine. The thing is built like a tank, if anything better than my L lenses.
However, if you want a stabilized normal zoom now, I would just get that and add an ultrawide later. You'll still be well covered for many landscapes, and would feel the lack of an ultrawide mostly for architecture.
