Lens dilemma - What should I do?

    This has probably been asked a thousand times, but I have ordered a 17-40mm f4L through my job, but its not too late to cancel as the order hasn't been dispatched yet. I've come across someone selling a 17-55 f2.8 IS, still in warranty at a good price. Now I don't know what to do. I'll need to cancel the order for the 17-40 in the morning at the latest if I'm to go for the 17-55.
    I know the 17-55 has a wider aperture, longer focal range and IS BUT the 17-40 has L quality glass and is probably much better built. Help, which lens would be better to go for? Please advise...

    Note: I'm using a 400d with no plans to go full frame for a long time.

    Thank you,

    Mick.

    Is it the Canon 17-55 2.8 IS?

    If it is, I'd cancel the 17-40 and go for it.

    Yeah Fajitas, its the F2.8 IS. I'll ammend the original post to state that.

    Thanks.
