Like KaaX wrote, having just 17-40 and 70-200 can get frustrating pretty quickly. I have tried it and it felt like I always had the wrong lens mounted, and that I had to carry both all the time.
Now I have 24-105L + 35L and it\'s just perfect, so there\'s no way I\'d leave 24-105 at home. I too think you\'ll regret it if you do.
The only time I take 17-40 and 70-200 now is when weight isn\'t a concern and I can bring both my cameras.

Then I got Tamron 28-75/2.8 and tried to combine that with 17-40L or 35L. With the two zooms I had the same problem as above; I felt I had to carry both all the time and I switched lenses a lot. Tamron + 35L was much more convenient, but I missed not having anything wider than 28mm.
