Depends on the amount of use that you will give it and your style of shooting
if you shoot a lot of low light and will use the 16-35 focal length more that 40% of the time, then it might be worth it; pure photojournalists might find this lens perfect for their style of shooting
if you want to get similar results without the steep cost, purchase a fast prime or the Tamron 17-50/2.8 (I have not used this lens)
many top wedding pros use the 17-40/4L (such as Jerry Ghionis) with great results so that is possible
I use the 17-40/4L about 20% of the time at weddings with my 5D and am very happy with it and have not looked back
a competition album that have many shots with that lens received an accolade of excellence at this years WPPI this year as well as a PPA merit at the Southwest Regional album competition
