Personally I'd sell the 24-70 and buy a nifty.

Tough one because you've got portraits to think about in addition to landscapes.

I guess the obvious question (being full frame) is how many of your landscapes tend to fall between 17mm and 24mm? If the answer is not many then you may as well keep the f2.8 of the 24-70 and loose the f4 of the 17-40. If the answer is loads then you keep the 17-40 as none of the others give you the width.

As mentioned above you'd get a good price for your 24-70 which would enable you to get a less expensive fast lens for your shorter portaits.

Likewise how often do you go longer than 70mm ? as your 70-200 will generate the most cash

I guess a lot boils down to how much you need to bring in / afford to reinvest from money raised.
