If you go on Flickr and search for these lenses you will see hundreds of photos taken with them.
I go to florida all the time and i take 2 lenses with me a sigma 17-70os and my trusty 70-200isf4L. what i tend to do is plan my day if we are going to the parks and doing shows and the kids are doing rides then its the 70-200 if we are just walking around then its the 17-70. where are you planning on going
However, you can always crop in for extra zoom but you can't add anything at the the wide end that you never got in the first place.
I've no idea what the 15-85 is like but if I still had a cropped body then the 17-55 would be my walk-a-bout. The constant f/2.8 with the IS is a major advantage.
Only if you want to shoot with that aperture. For me the extra range of the 15-85 was the major advantage.
fixed focal length 70-200 f4 it means the lowest f number is f4 the 15-85 is f3.5 to 5.6
The 24-105 is £479 from panamoz
Oh wow OK, that sways it as I was worried about the 1 year warranty and diaphragm issue.It is a grey import but also comes with a 3 year UK warranty. I bought mine from there can't fault them.
If I ever have a few grand spare..
Get the 24-105 L you will eventually upgrade camera to FF

Sounds like the 15-85 is emerging as the front runner.
A trip to Jessops and actually getting your hand on the lenses is a great idea. Take your camera with you they won't mind. Make sure you have a charged battery and a memory card and then shoot some photos at various lengths, apertures etc etc and then compare them at your leisure at home.
Another lens you might consider is the Canon 15-85 lens. .

I've got the 17-55 f2.8 and my dad has the 24-105 f4. IQ wise they are both very good I went for the 17-55mm as when I looked through my shots a lot were at the wider end and I couldn't afford a separate wide angle.
you could go for the 24-105mm and keep your existing lens as a wide angle for now.
But it's not. The kit lens is only 3.5 at 18mm it quickly jumps beyond f4.I was thinking about this today considering the kit lens is wider and faster..

The 17-55 would be my choice but you appear to be dismissing it based on its lack of red ring. As far as I'm concerned, that's your loss.
