Another what lens next.... (upgrade from Canon 28-135 f/3.5-5.6)

Yes
Got a chance to really see the benefit of 'fast' glass at the weekend, the 17-55 IS f/2.8 from Canon was just brilliant against my 28-135 IS 3.5-5.6. I used to take the 28-135 out on its own for walk-around, but I don't think I am going to be able to leave the 17-55 behind now.
So if I were to look at upgrading my 28-135, what would be the next lens?
I would like it to have IS preferably, I find it very useful.
Relevant lenses I have:

10-22
17-55 IS f/2.8 (50/1.8)

28-135 f/3.5-5.6 (want to upgrade to something faster), I use this as my walkaround

70-300 IS, I only take this out when I have the off-chance of needing a long lens, so I wouldn't want to loose too much length from the 28-135
100-400 IS, I take this out when I know I need a long lens (wildlife)

(unfortunately, the 17-55 looks like it needs to go back to canon for a comms fault)

Thanks for the info Mark (I had forgotten about this thread).
I have been thinking recently about the 70-200 2.8 IS, anyone got any (simple) ideas on how I can see whether I would miss the 55-70 range?
