I honestly don't know what is about the lens, Most of the time the images I get with it I just feel "meh". But when I shoot the 70-200, the difference is staggering, it's like I can't mess up. Sometimes the 17-55 comes out and surprises me.

If that's how you feel, it is likely the shallow dept of field and perspective change that is doing it for you. For wider shots, try experimenting with the "Brenizer Method" using your 70-200. I think you'll like the result.

"Brenizer Method" looks like a fun project, I have never used it but was looking at some examples.

It seems like it is contrast and detail that is my biggest complaint.
