I got this because at the time canon's 24-70 2.8 L was out of my price range. I'm now VERY happy with this lens, and after spending a week with the "L" thingie i'm even happier 
yes, sigma's version has no USM/FTM equivalent, but it's got as good optics (IMHO), focuses a bit faster (this particular area interests me alot, so i did as extensive tests as i could) and feels a bit better in my hand too (subjective, i know). Well worth the money, try if out in your local photo store and see for yourselves!
