I have this lens on my T2I, right now, but in using it, I feel I need a bit more reach, but with similar Wide angle, if that is possible.
Thoughts?

My first good lens was the 28-135 and I felt it wasn't wide enough for my needs where 135 was plenty. For you however your only options are what has been mentioned. Canon 18-200 would be a best bet.

If this is true, the Canon 18-200 is pretty much your best bet. But while the 18-200 has the focal range you are looking for in a single lens, it has drawbacks. One of the best features of the SLR camera is interchangable lenses.

Either the Canon 28-300mmL (which is quite expensive and heavy), or the Tamron version. The 28-135mm will give you a little more reach than the 24-105L, but the difference between 105mm and 135mm isn't much.
