I terms of mm\'s think you made a perfect choice. 24mm on a crop-camera is not that wide so 17mm is a lot better. And the difference between 55mm and 70mm is almost negligible.
Now, I don\'t have any experience with the Canon 17-55 but I have used a 24-105 on a 40D for a while and although I liked the reach on the tele end, the 24mm on the wide end was too narrow in a lot of occasions.... I really like the 24-105 reach on my full frame 5D. I only wished it was f 2.8 though. From what I have read, the 17-55 f2.8 is optically a L-quality lens so I wouldn\'t worry if I were you.
