Right now do have a sigma 30mm but am not satisfied with the center sharpness of the lens..will the 35L performs better?

The 135mm is an outstanding piece of glass. Outdoor portraits are beautiful with the 135mm even on a crop camera, and the fast 2.0 gives you all kinds of low light options. The 70-200mm 2.8 II can't do what the 135mm 2.0 can do. Personally. I would buy a used 200mm 2.8 L for about $650 to add to my arsenal, and forget about the heavy expensive new zoom.

Ask POTN member Ronnie here -> "bsaber" - as he's recently made the 35L and 50L part of his lens set which he uses for pro' photography! And he's someone you can trust.

YEah I too have the MKI and at 2.8 I can see the peach fuss on the subject's ear when I zoom in on my RAW in DPP...what the heck more would I want.???

THAT good is only relevant if the focal range and aperture is what you need. The 70-200 cannot shoot at 30mm 1.4 now can it?
