Yakim. Resistance is futile. I recently went on holidays and took all my Tilt+Shifts (17.24.45.90 and Nikon 85PC MKI), just like you I was having great fun with them and found that I was grabbing them more than my Alt lens. The most used ones for me were the 24 and 45. But I like landscape.
Since 35 is your widest, if you must buy consider the 24 over the 17. Since your 10-22 is used very little, I ask how would the 17 focal length fit in given you are not a landscape shooter. Yes It could be used for macro, but portrait not likely unless you are taking portraits of Salem Sue.
Its not a great picture but portaits with the 17 would be extremely limited,
Seriously the 17 would do well in macro with an extension tube, but you would be limited in macro just shooing at normal MFD without one. The 24 may meet your needs or may not again it is wide angle, but not ultrawide like the 17.
It is a lot to invest if the lens has very limited use. Another thought take out your 10-22 and set it at 17 and see if you like the FOV, granted you wont get tilt or shift but the FOV will at least give you an idea if you really will have any use for a 17 TS.
